I don’t know about all the computers at once… but a great program for clearing all that temp files an stuff is CrapCleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com

Thanks Dan. Not all at once, but at least something that’ll ease the pain of manually logging into (at least accounts on each computer. I might do without all the setting optimizations (for each user account) and just make sure that the temp files and stuff gets cleaned out. I guess log in, run CCleaner, log out, repeat.

The last step is to defrag, which will be done automatically. I’m actually keeping the batch file hidden on the server, so I don’t have to copy and paste that file on each computer. (I have a feeling that’s not the best thing to do.)

You can use the maintance feature in XP. If you are admin, you can setup a schedule maintane on each machine that will run automatically each day or one day a week. You can find schedule tasks under system tools.

Thank Ron, but I can’t see how you schedule maintenance on each machine, on each account? I’m definitely an admin, and I can see Scheduled Tasks under Control Panel, but I don’t see anything pertaining to a built-in maintenance app.
