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*
