Hi all, I keep collecting prf*.tmp-files in my profile that's stored on a dfs-share. I know those are open files that can't be written while synching the profile according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328607. So far none of them have proven to be any important data, so I figured I could create a scheduled task to automatically remove them from the central stored profile. So, I made a batch-script (basically a "del /F /Q prf*.tmp" for a few particular folders) and ran it and nothing happened... Checked the file-attribs and noticed the prf-files were marked HRSA, which would explain why the del-command in my batch-script couldn't delete them. No problem, I changed my script to include "attrib -R /S prf*.tmp", "attrib -H /S prf*.tmp" and "attrib -S /S prf*.tmp" and ran the script again. Still nothing... I can delete them manually via Windows Explorer, but that is not feasible, I need an automatic way to do this. Do you guys have any hints ir ideas on how to do this?
