Update: May 06, 2010 - Version 2.1 - umm, added: "FileClose($ProfileList)"

I wasn't really satisfied with the way version one was written - even though it worked fine.

So, after some great thought ... I've decided to break it up into 2 separate functions:

Function #1 handles the navigating of profile folders

Function #2 carries out the commands given for it

This improves the script tremendously with less code and loops.

The benefits are better speed and efficiency with extra error handling.

Also added remove attributes to catch those mean hidden ones.

You will need "Admin Rights" to use it in your main script.

It's possible, there might be a problem if a Profile is made private.

Although, there should be enough error handling in it to handle this event.

--- Also ---

If you want to adapt to your OS or your specific needs, then do this in your testing:

comment out the FileDelete and DirRemove lines and write in a MsgBox to make sure

you have the proper folders and files.

This script could also be adapted to modify and/or install folders and files.

Plus, you could get file and folder properties from each Profile (great for network management).

Could also be used as a search function.

It could have many uses .. just replace FileDelete and DirRemove with your commands

and it will process all Profiles. Remember to test with MsgBox first!
