I started writing a batch file for quick cleanup of an WinXP PC.
My batch file is below.
I'm no expert so I am sure stuff is missing (what is missing)?
The goal is a decent batch file which removes most privacy concerns.
Let's say the PC should be clean enough to hand to your boss or mom.
How can we improve this cleanpc.bat script?
Is another cleanpc.bat script out there that is better for starters?
How can we add variables (eg for the username & mozzilla directory)?

Fred Langa has done this already. Works well if you read the instructions.
