Can I teach XP to do specific tasks?

[stevensly]

Hi all,
I would like to have XP run specific tasks, but 'scheduled tasks' just
doesn't cut it.
What I would like to do is run a batch file that does the following:

- clear MIE cache/cookies/history (TweakXP only does this on reboots)
- clear netscape 7.0 history/cache
- delete cached files in 'C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\USER\Cache\'
- delete all temp files in the user specific 'C:\Documents and
Settings\USER\Local Settings\Temp'
- after all files are deleted, disk clean up should run and empty the
recycling bin

Are there any built in apps that can do this or would a 3rd party
application be necessary?
If so, what would you suggest?

Tia!

I don't see anything here that "scheduled tasks" can't do, but you'd need to
combine it with a bit of batch job or vbs scripting.

Hi Robert,
I found what I was looking for in Macroexpress. (-8
