I'm trying to delete the browser cache with a batch file and/or Javascript. Is this possible?
Does anyone know the Windows variable for the local user? I tried %USER% but that didn'ts work.

I got this from a thread (linked below) where I learned how to create a file "XP.cmd" to be placed into the runonce key.
I used it because I did not have administrator priviledges on a Win2K machine to delete the TIF.
I am "Report_2" in this thread. It is a rather long thread but good stuff.

If you are looking for the Netscape browser cache you will find it here:
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles.
When you get to profiles you will find folders listed with funny letters (like in the temporary internet files). Your cache is inside of those folders.
