Help us create a batch file to clean a pc of stuff (hand computer to mom)
I started writing a batch file for quick cleanup of an WinXP PC.
My batch file is below. I'm no expert so I am sure stuff is missing (what is missing)? The goal is a decent batch file which removes most privacy concerns. Let's say the PC should be clean enough to hand to your boss or mom. How can we improve this cleanpc.bat script? Is another cleanpc.bat script out there that is better for starters? How can we add variables (eg for the username & mozzilla directory)? Orak Listalavostok echo off erase /s/q/f "c:\temp" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\recent" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\my recent documents" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\my recent documents" rmdir /s/q "c:\quarantine" erase /s/q/f "c:\windows\downloaded program files" erase /s/q/f "c:\windows\temp" erase /s/q/f "c:\windows\cookies" erase /s//f "c:\windows\history" erase /s/q/f "c:\windows\tempor~1\content.ie5" erase /s/q/f "c:\windows\recent" erase /s/q/f "c:\windows\applog" erase /s/q/f "c:\windows\desktop\*.tmp" erase /s/q/f "c:\windows\prefetch\*.*" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\cookies" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\history" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temporary internet files" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\application data" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\userdata" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and settings\administrator\my recent documents" erase /s/q/f "c:\windows\system32\catroot2\*.log" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and Settings\administrator\application data\mozilla\Profiles\default\mhy0feee.slt\cache" erase /s/q/f "c:\documents and Settings\administrator\application data\mozilla\Profiles\default\\mhy0feee.slt\cache.

Fred Langa has done this already. Works well if you read the instructions.
