Delete temp folder on shutdown automatically

[Pouria]

Thanks.

I've searched around but I'm unable to find and easy/safe way of doing this.

What I do is run Ccleaner just before I shut my computer down. I realise it is not automatic but, I do like to keep control of things like deleting files.

If you're using XP Pro/XP MCE...

I'll assume you mean the %TEMP% folder.

RMDIR /S /Q %TEMP%

The above will remove the %TEMP% folder and everything in it. However the %TEMP% folder will be recreated when windows starts.

To make it kick in at shutdown you need to setup a logoff script.

Start, Run, Type: gpedit.msc and click OK.

User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff)

Double click: Logoff

Unzip the attached file.

Click: Show files... and drag del_temp_folder.bat into the folder.

Then click Add..., Browse and double click del_temp_folder.bat

Click OK.

Restart your PC and you will find the %TEMP% folder is there but will only [if anything] have a few items in it.

Also note that items in the %TEMP% folder are either needed or not. Upon shutdown I wouldn't know if this folder is needed and if it is then running the script might cause havoc so before you do the above make a backup just to be sure.
