It is true that there is a %windir%\temp directory and it is used but the big directoy to be deleted is the %userprofile%\local settings\temp and %userprofile%\local settings\temporary internet files\. These directories get filled up very fast. There also is the history files also under the same tree and a userdata directory that has several nonsensical directories that can be deleted. Create a batch file for any you want to delete and make sure you use the del /s /f /q to not only delete without prompting, but also grab any subdirectories and force the deletion of any read only files. Remember, this is a temporary directory so there should be nothing in there that needs to be kept after a reboot. I would also redirect the output to a log directory so you can make sure files are being deleted. Use the >> logfile.txt at the end of the batch file command string and replace logfile.txt with whatever you want to call your log. But the main thing is, why download another third part tool to execute the batch file? Simply do this: Start > Run > gpedit.msc. Look under Windows Settings > Scripts (Startup/Shutdown). Double click on Shutdown and browse for your batch file(s). Every time you (gracefully) shutdown Windows, all scripts will be executed via Group Policy. Group Policy is very powerful and useful in managing Windows. Interesting info, but a bit dated.

Your Temporary files folder can get extremely large. Take a look at what’s in C:\WINDOWS\Temp. The first step is to install Xecutor. You can download Xecutor from the Xpertdesign homepage. The second step is to create a batch file that will delete your temporary files on shutdown. To do this open up notepad and type the following line: del /Q G:\WINDOWS\Temp save your file as tempdelete.bat.
