Can anyone enlighten me as to the simplest way of providing this facility?
My local Photo Club has asked me to "spring-clean" their collection of XP PC's. The usual stuff... defrag etc. (There is no internet access on any of the machines, btw).
They currently allow users to store unlimited images on the machines, but are intending to apply some restraints on users by implementing an "Auto-Delete after 30 days" policy. I've already suggested that simply setting a disk quota may be better and told them how to set it up, and they had a look at it... but it appears the h/d's are set up as FAT32, not NTFS. The Quota facility doesn't play on FAT32. And I REALLY don't fancy re-formatting/re-installing half-a-dozen pc's next weekend!
So, basically, they want to schedule a check which will run on boot-up, check the "age" of all files in the various User folders and delete anything older than 30 days. I'm thinking... a vbs script run through the Windows Scheduler???
And that's about where I fall flat on my ass.
Can any kind soul help???
Cheers,
