Command Prompt experts - I need your help
Sup guys.
Hey, so I'm acting as a sort of tech support guy for my school, due to the fact that we're a very small school and the computer teacher is the only one who actually knows anything about troubleshooting. My knowledge is comparable to hers, probably somewhat more. Anyway, the problem is that all of the lab computers (that the computer classes use) are running very slowly, due more to hard drive congestion than anything else. In experimenting with one computer, I found out the biggest problem. Every time someone logs on to a computer, a user profile is created for them. All of their temporary Internet files, My Documents stuff, etc., is saved locally on that machine for those who use the machine. Note that the computers are running XP SP2 So I've been going on the administrator account and creating a batch file to remove all of the folders manually, except for a few: two administrator folders, All Users, Default User, and the computer teacher's. This doesn't actually impact anyone because anything they save should be saved on a network server, independent of the individual computer. The files are just taking up unnecessary space, so they should be deleted. After finishing the deletion, I defrag using a third-party program called "Jkdefrag." The problem is that I've been forced to manually type in "rmdir /s /q [account name]" for each person. What I'm looking for is a way to delete all of the subfolders in C:\Documents and Settings, with the exception of the aforementioned. Google turned up nothing, and I'm wary of tech support forums, because the atmosphere is much more formal and "intimidating." It's like they're designed for either professional sysadmins or complete neophytes. So if anyone knows what I could do for this, it'd be a great help. Or if you know any friendly tech support forums that could be able to help, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance. |
