Theres no roaming profiles, no redirection of any of the profile. HOWEVER - we remap the boot (hard) drive(s). So, in other words rather than C: drive and D: drive we remap C: drive to Q: drive and D: drive to R: drive 1. Windows 2003 SP2 2. 32 bit 3. I get a lot of "Deleting file: filenamehere.pdf, RESULT: FAILED with error [5] Access is denied." over and over for each and every file the code finds.

A couple of things to try: Take one of the files that is failing, open a command prompt and try to delete it using the full path, see if the delete works at the command line. Try adding the "force" flags to the del command and see if it helps: Code: Del $sPrefix+$sEntry+$sSuffix+$sFileToDelete /f /h If that doesn't work then maybe follow the path of least resistance and get the users to delete their own files in their startup script.

Sorry for the confusion I should have thought of that. Thanks again and again and again to you and Mart for the help!!!! Syn _________________________ Bang that head that doesn't bang!!!
