Does anyone know why Microsoft decided to put the users temp folder under the users profile. Is it for security reasons, so if someone else logs on the the machine, they can't view the other users temp files. If this is the recommended practice, does anyone know of any documentation stating this? We have always set this variable to "C:\temp" in the past, so an admin on the machine could go to one place and delete ALL temp files on the whole machine at once. If leaving it in the users profile is recommended and you have machines with many different users, how do you clean up all the users temp files without having to traverse into each profile then delete all files? Is there a script or batch file to do this?
