Any help would be appreciated.

Jassen

you can determine the locations by parsing the %TEMP% and %TMP% environment variables ...

then get the best examples from this
Post and the links behind ...

Based upon the %temp% variable this should work fine. However you could +R attribs or the file could be in use and it would not delete.

code:

---

DEL "%TEMP%\*.tmp"
DEL "%TEMP%\*.CHK"
DEL "%TEMP%\~*.*"

---

Very quick simple code. Not bullet proof and not a search and destroy method. Here is another example also.

code:

---

If @InWin = 1
 RUN '%COMSPEC% RD /S /Q %TEMP%'
EndIf 
If @InWin = 2  
 Shell "%COMSPEC% DelTree /Y %TEMP%"
EndIf

Jassen, welcome to the board.

For ideas about removing all kind of temporary files from your system
see our script cleanup.kix, which you can find on our site
http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting

btw: a little reaction and correction on NTDOC scripts

• the usage of del can let your script hang in some situations, when f.e.
  a file is busy. be aware of that.
  an alternative is the usage of windows 95 command deltree with option /y,
  which can handle such situations.
  
• be aware to check your %temp% still exist after the rd or deltree
  operation.
  shell "%comspec% /c deltree /y %temp%" will also remove directory
  %temp%. to prevent it change it to:
  shell "%comspec% /c deltree /y %temp%\."
  Our code will be
  

  code:

  ---

  
  IF @inwin = 1
    SHELL "%comspec% /c rd /s /q %temp%"
  ELSE
    SHELL "%comspec% /c deltree /y %temp%\."
  ENDIF
  IF (Exist("%temp%\nul") = 0)
    MD %temp%
  ENDIF

  btw: we think NTDOC was forgotten to type /c switch in run and shell
  command.

True...
I tried this code from a command prompt not a logon batch call of a KiXtart script. It does work from a command prompt without the /c (I think /c is the default behavior on 2000 anyways).

and I did mention that it is not bullet proof. Did not test, but from past experience, I would say that MCA's code would be more bullet proof then my sample.
