Journal wheany's Journal: Delete temporary files in Windows using this script

I've made this handy script to delete the all kinds of unnecessary files from under each user's personal directory in Windows: http://koti.mbnet.fi/wheany/deltemp.cmd.

It deletes the caches of IE, Opera and Firefox, user-specific temp-folder, Windows's temp-folder and prefetch-folder and empties the recycling bins on the first four drives.

The script has been hardcoded to use C: as the system drive, so if your Documents and Settings -folder is on another drive, change the script. And you have to be some kind of super user to be able to access other users' personal folders.
