Default batch file problem

Hi, help, I've set the app below to auto delete files in a
folder but it does not run automatically, can anyone
advise me on this.

@echo off
del /q c:\folder\*.doc

I would appreciate any help.

thanks Spiike

Are you running it as a Scheduled Task? If so, the account that is used =
to run it must have a password. There are ways around this, but I don't =
recommend them, as they allow blank passwords anywhere on the system. =
Bad idea.
