hey
we are having this new problem in our labs that windows create the mandatory
profile which is located locally in the same workstation becouse there is a
file thats too long in the temporary internet files. the profile should be
deleted on log off but it does not for a reason that i dont know or becouse
it is locked. i tried using the UPHclean up "both the old the new and the
beta" and it didnt work. i tried to put a log off script to delete the
profile but it works only when we log in as admin. this problem is killing
me. any help will be appriciated.

hey
sorry for not answering fast coz i thought i would get an e mail when
someone answers but i didnt. any way it does not matter what the file name is
coz even if i delete it when any other user logs in and get to the same web
site it will come back and we get the same problem. now you will ask which
website and i will say there are many web site that will leave some jpg files
with a very long file names. and i have 5 labs with 20 computer in each so it
is impossible to log in every computer and delete the temparory internet
files or delete the profile.

In newsgroups you will never receive a reply by personal EMail. Replies made
by respondents will only be visible in the newsgroups themselves.

Unfortunately you are restricted to a total path+file name length of 260
characters. You will have to rename/delete the files with the excessively
long names on each and every PC. There is no other way.
