don't bother with LUser's temp files either. They get deleted whenever we scrub and re-image thier computers.
There is a point to cleaning up the users PC ( temp files, IE temp & history files, etc..) though; at our 200 workstation school PC's get used by many users. not cleaning up the PCs would fill them up & slow them down in no time, no matter how big the HD.
Lets say, each PC would run a year without cleaning up before having to be re-imaged. With 200 PCs and 200 effective working days in a school year, that would mean i'd have to fix 1 PC each day, spending like 15...20 minutes re-imaging it. ( = 50 hours a year! )
So now it does make sense spending 30 minutes once to figure out a few lines of code that will clean up & keep them runig smoothly for their expected lifetime ( or 3 yrs at least - remember we are a school...)

How about when the install needs to complete after rebooting and you yank the files before it finishes!
On a side note, we clean up the PCs during logoff script, not logon, and i've never had issues with this.

10 minutes for every boot ??? 
Anyway, as with most facilities such as schools, hospitals etc... we have a limited budget for ICT and probably couldnt afford your system.
Thus i'm saving myself a lot of time and, appearantly, our school a lot of money by writing a few lines of code instead.
