BrewManNH Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Try adding #RequireAdmin at the top of the script, it's probably a permissions issue for those folders. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post.

thimker11 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks. Permissions sounds about right. #RequireAdmin MIGHT have worked on one of the 3 folders, not C:Temporary Internet Files or C:Users####AppDataLocalTemp There are now two new subfolders in C:Users###AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecent ...CustomDestinations and ...AutomaticDestinations so is there a switch for sub, as in DOS delete /s?
