Batch file to cleanup OS temp and junk files.

error

@torchwood--I've moved my problem to a new thread, as it doesn't deal with Paul's script. If you really get your kicks translating CBS logs, you will be flooded with complaints.

CBS log reflects 2 problems (Attention: @Torchwood)

Thank you.

Hi torchwood,

Would you be interested in or find this useful!

I know that you are one of the few members here that can analise and diagnose the CBS.log. I have written a batch program that will extract the errors ONLY from the CBS.log. SFC [System File Checker] MUST obviously be run BEFORE running the batch program. The batch program creates a sfc_details.txt file on the desktop. Would it help you to analise and diagnose problems of the CBS.log that members are asked to upload here at SevenForums because it will only contain the exracted errors?

Paul--

Something's zonky at the forum. I've received notices of post #15 in my email 3 times. Maybe Torchwood's reply is floating in the ethernet.

Tried your script now.
It shut down my Elev Command window, of course didn't run

[1] Yes. I had a couple of problems yesterday where I lost a couple of posts, one of them being post #15, hence you receiving a reply notification that didn't exist so I had ro re-post it. The forum changed over to a new server yesterday which probably caused this minimal clitch.

EDIT: Just seen this post by Barman58 => We moved our server holding this Forum Yesterday.

[2] It is NOT my script but one that can be found in the source link I provided.

I hope this helps!

Hi RoWin7,

Out of interest!

[1] Did you copy the script in post #1 into notepad and save it as a Filename: with a .bat suffix and Save as type: All Files?
[2] Did you include the echo. & pause at the very end of the code?
[3] Did you run it from an elevated command prompt?
[4] Did you see the IMPORTANT section?

I would assume that you didn't run it from an elevated command prompt!

1--No, I just copied it into my clipboard program and pasted it into the window. If I had saved it as a file, I wouldn't have known how to do it on Elevated Command prompt.
2--I copied and pasted exactly what you wrote.
3-- yes

Not going to play with it anymore.

Are you thinking of sending your variation to Brink as a tutorial?

That's why it didn't work!
It has to be run from a .bat file as an Administrator.

That's NOT my variation. My variation will be a bit more complex!
I am just putting something together for me really, hence my request for what others thought!

I hope this helps!
