I need help to write a short DOS file to delete everything in:
C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

To go into C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\
C:\ drive, I type <cd\windows\tempor~1>
I go into C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\
If I type <Del*.*>
Everything inside the folder deleted.

To go into C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\
I type <cd\windows\tempor~1\conten~1\>
I get Invalid directory

Below is my "Clean.bat"

Start==================
cls
cd c:\windows\cookies
del *.*

cd\windows\temp
Del *.*

cd\windows\tempor~1
Del *.*

cd\windows\tempor~1\conten~1
Del *.*

e:\
cd\everest\adcache
del *.*
end==============

True, XP doesn't have a "real" DOS but there is a DOS-like command prompt
environment. Moreover, "Windows Scripting" is infinitely more powerful,
once you get your head around the "wrapper". TechNet are running a week of
webcasts on Windows Scripting this week, and there are vast resources on the
MS website on the subject.

See
http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032256426&Culture=en-US
(webcast available on demand), or
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/default.mspx
and especially:

We really do need to keep up or at least try if we are to be successful
nowadays. Thanks for the link to the scriptomatic information. I'll play
around with it and see what comes up. I'm basically lazy and getting tired
of having to learn all over again every few years. It seems that just as I
get to the point where I think I actually know what I'm talking about, it
all changes........
