I had that.

Then I discovered that it can't delete the IE web cache. (Due to some 
kind of weirdness with it being system and hidden or something like 
that.) So I switched to a Tcl script. Even built a little Tk GUI for it, 
so you can see how much longer it's going to take. (Deleting 0.8GB of 
web cache takes a while...)

And then I switched it to Haskell, so I could more precisely control the 
file deletion algorithm. And I added logging. And I ran it as a service, 
scripted to run on the profile server every 300 seconds...

And then HQ IT decided that roaming profiles were too efficient, and 
disabled them. Now every...single...time...I set up a new PC, I have a 
stream of people asking me to come over and configure their email 
settings. And people whining that they have to adjust their Word 
settings manually for every PC they use. *sigh*
