Thanks for the great addition Mark! I’ll put an update out to reflect the changes.

in the case that the cd does not work (ie the directory does not exist), you wouldnt want the rm *.* to execute. I added a few lines to protect against this.

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Deleting Outlook 2003 temporary files
cd %userprofile%/local settings/temporary internet files/olk*
if errorlevel 1 goto end
del *.* /s /f /q

:end
exit
