Delete temp files

[zac23]

Hey im wrighting a script with a gui, ive got the gui to work but i cant figure out how to delete files from other perples user profiles without spesifying a user name to look at and not looking in the currrent user that is logged in, im sure im missing something simple any ideas?

Please consider working thru this tutorial on using AutoIt

Also, it is not a good idea to delete every temp file - it might be best to only delete "old" ones.

But even a person that has logged off may have a temp file that is part of a document that can be recovered.

there meant to save anything to a network drive that also keeps a record of deleted stuf for a while

we go through and delete all of them anyway our operating system recreates anything important on logon too

im just trying to increase speed at which we speed up the pcs

I'm not sure what OS you're using, but this (based upon the help file example for "_FileListToArray") might be a good way to start:

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
$FileList=_FileListToArray("C:\Documents and Settings\","*",2)
If @Error=1 Then
    MsgBox (0,"","No Files\Folders Found.")
    Exit
EndIf
_ArrayDisplay($FileList,"$FileList")
For $x = 1 to $FileList[0]
    Switch $FileList[$x]
        Case "LocalService", "NetworkService", @UserName; users to ignore
        Case Else; users to process
            MsgBox(1,"","Deleting temp files for: " & $FileList[$x])
    EndSwitch
Next

That example is tuned for my Windows XP Pro SP3...

Edit: added @UserName to switch statement
