I run maintenance tasks on about a dozen computers in the middle of the
night (Norton virus scan, spybot, cleanmgr, defrag) using the task
scheduler. Each computer has 3-4 accounts, some with administrator rights,
some with limited rights.
I've noticed that when I create a scheduled cleanmgr session while logged in
as Smith, only Smith's Recycle Bin gets cleaned up. When logged in as
administrator, only the administrator's Recycle Bin gets cleaned. Same thing
for Jones and Mary, etc.
Is this also true for the Temporary Internet files, temp files, etc?
I guess this makes sense, but means that I have to schedule 3-4 dozen
cleanmgr tasks on these dozen computers to make a "clean sweep" of all the
junk files belonging to all the accounts. On each computer, the start times
should probably be staggered to avoid trying to run all at once.
Groan, is there a way around this?
