Default Re: automatic clean up of C:\Temp on WinXP Pro

First of all, thank you for your answers, Wes and Richard.

Windows update system represents no problem, There is a problem, and
the problem is temp files on c:\temp.

On Windows XP Pro (this doesn't happen on Windows 2000 Pro) , we have
an application that creates temp files in c:\Temp.

If you log off from WIndows, those files are not deleted. If you log
back to Windows **with the same username**, the application will delete
those files.

But if you log is **with a different username** the darn rpogram cannot
clean the c:\Temp directoryt and will crash.

I've contacted the vendor, and they have no solution (talk about
software quality), as they claim that their software should only be
used in Windows 2000. But, see, I canno find Windows 2000 licenses
anymore. So I'm stuck with the problem.

And no, reboot does not empty c:\Temp.

Any idea?

Can I define a, say, "logout script" in my PDC (primary domain
controller)?

Thank you in advance

there is no logOUT script feature.

but double check the security permissions on that temp folder; give the
USERS group FULL CONTROL-ALLOW . Hopefully your crashing problem will go
away and the temps won't build up anymore.
