You gotta love batch files. I had to delete a bunch (BUNCH) of TMP files that were interfering with users logging onto W2kP boxes. (see Q271518 in the M$ kb if you want the full explanation.) I had to do this on about 50 different computers. Thank goodness for batch files and the C$ admin share. Here's what I did:

net use q: \\computer1\c$
q:
attrib -r -a -s -h ntuser.pol.tm* /s
del ntuser.pol.tm* /s
d:
net use q: /d
echo net send (myusername) Deleting ntuser.pol.tm* on computer1 completed

net use q: \\computer2\c$
q:
attrib -r -a -s -h ntuser.pol.tm* /s
del ntuser.pol.tm* /s
d:
net use q: /d
echo net send (myusername) Deleting ntuser.pol.tm* on computer2 completed

etc....

The attrib /s switch searches through all subfolders, as does del /s. Once I worked out the details, I simply duplicated the procedure for all boxes on the network and split it into 5 different batch files, mapping drives to L M N O AND Q.

I rock. Hey, you take victories where you can, right?

Doesn't it just thrill you that Mr. Bill thinks we don't have any need for the command prompt?

I don't know what it is about .bat files that makes me happy. I love them...
