I have been tasked with creating a simple user friendly (and I mean really friendly) way for our computer using people other than IT to clean up there computers such as removing temp files and well other non important files. I have worked on a batch file but do not know what all would be okay to run in it also I do not know a way to make one work for both XP and 7.

Have them use the portable version of CCleaner

No install needed, cleans everything you would want to clean + some. I use it all the time and love it.

Can it be ran with no user interaction such as at startup and in the background? The people who need it… can break anything, with anything so the less they touch the best haha

Here you go:

You can build your script to use these parameters.

Glad I could help. Check out their network version (geared for corporate use), you can centrally manage all your CCleaner installs from one console.

That, would be amazing actually you may have just solved one of our oldest (also most overlooked) tickets and I appreciate your input and assistance.

You could add Disk Cleanup and Defrag to the batch file too, like in this howto: http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/1531-run-maintenance-scripts-on-desktop-pcs

I had been working on something like that actually but CCleaner is seaming much safer and like less of a headache in regards to the users who would be using them, also its just nice to be in control and know there isnt a possibility of say… a sys32 folder gone missing haha. But thank you for your input.

Ccleaner is best for clean Up temp & cache file.

Is there a way to schedule scans in CCleaner? The free would be best because the network admin one has been labeled to expensive for us and I still think this has crazy potential if we could get it to run with no end user interference.
