Deleting temporary Internet files from logon.bat

Hi,

We have problems (as many other) to have GPO delete cached profiles from a
w2k server.

Hence I thought I'd delete it manually from logon.bat when the user logs in.
I added the following line to logon.bat:

del /F /S /Q "\\server4\e$\home\%USERNAME%\profile\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\*.*"

However I get an access denied error. The same occurs when I try to issue
the above command when the user is logged in. I thought that users were
free to delete contents in their own profile.??

Any (other) clue(s) on how to force deletion of 'unnecessary' contents in
cached profiles?

regards

Gene

Try this command instead, first from a Command Prompt
and then via logon.bat:
rd /s /q "\\server4\e$\home\%USERNAME%\profile\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\content.ie5"
