    Delete files from multiple folder through Task Scheduler


    Hi,


    I want to Delete multiple files from multiple folders through Task Scheduler. Is there a command that can execute this requirement?


    The forfiles script is working for single folder but my expectation is to delete multiple files from two or few folders selected in the query.


    Please help me if anyone know it.


    Regards,


    Srinivasan

    :)

    Task Scheduling help/idea,

    Ok, my goal is to use IOGraph to record my mouse moments, What I would like to do, is use a task scheduler to make iograph save the photo ever 30min or so to a folder (in background if possible). Then I want to make a script that will delete jpgs that are older than 4 hours (any amount of time really). I would then set that folder to my desktop background folder.

    Anyone here proficient in using a task scheduler for anything like that? *Toast :toast:

    Task Scheduler Batch file

    Hi all,

    Looking for some help.Im creating a batch file to run for different users to add a scheduled task. HOWEVER - the whole thing works great and has done for some time.But after i run the batch file on each machine (different users) i have to go into the security options and change the user the task runs in to the unique user of that machine. Is there a way to use the batch file to pull the account name of the machine (or computer name) and use that as the user the task runs in?


    Thanks =)
