Cleaning Netscape's Cache

[TMGB]

There is a scheduling utility you can get ("FREE") at
http://www.americansys.com that will run on NT.  I am using it to backup
the web documents from an Alpha NT machine to an Intel NT machine using
shared directories.  I think I am correct in saying that this utility
runs on all MS Windows machines and in fact looks very similar to the
scheduling utility that comes with windows 98.  In Win 98 look in the
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Scheduled Tasks.  I
may have moved it there on my machine, if that is the case then this is
one of those undocumented programs you can find in the windows or
windows\systems directory.

otherwise:
>From the americansys web site:

"EZ Scheduler 1.1a is a reminder program and a process scheduling
program all in one. EZ Scheduler is a FREE GIFT from American Systems. 
EZ Scheduler can be used to launch favorite programs or display reminder
messages at the time you desire!  Run your programs or display your
reminders when Windows starts, once, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly,
yearly, and in minute intervals.  You can also play a sound (WAV File)
when your reminder or programs runs!  The program minimizes to the
taskbar tray so it takes up very little space. Includes Live Update
technology."

You can run any batch file or command file (NT uses filename.cmd) with
this utility.  

del DRIVELETTER:\PATH2CACHE\DEL *.* /F /Q

/F will force delete of readonly files 
/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to delete on global wildcard

Windows 95 is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit patch for an 8-bit
operating system that was originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor.
