I am trying to write a batch file that will delete files in a windows secured temp folder. It is located C:\documents and settings\userprofile\local settings\temporary internet files\OLK* If you can't see the file using explorer for testing a fix just type in %temp% at the command prompt and go up one level and then go into temp internet files and you should see the OLK folder. The * is a randomly generated number unique to each machine. The folder is created when someone uses outlook 2000 to view an attachment. I've never dealt with secure temp directories before and I'm not sure how I should be going about this.

wow, I'm sorry for the trouble. I deserve the "should be wearing a helmet award" I was trying to delete the folder itself with wild card characters instead of going into the folder and just deleting everything I needed cd C:\Documents and Settings\profilename\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK11 del "GES FORM"*.* pause
