reversing_drive 0 Posted October 16, 2002 How do i keep the desktop clean from anoying program installations and ignorant computer uses, It can often become a Shortcut & User Files nightmare. What would be ideal for me is if i could set an expiry time for everything on the desktop, that is infinite exsistence for items i want to stay and anything added after that has a life time of 1 week then is automatically deleted from the desktop. Is there any Apps out there that do that or hell even registry tweaks that might simulate that? Or could i manipulate the task schedualler to do that sort of function. All i can think of is a primitive technique which involves using the attribute "Archive" and then a .bat file in the startup folder which deletes (moves or even zips with pkzip) everything which has the certain default file attribute. Suggestions? Thanks heaps, Cheers. Share this post Link to post
