The Shonk Project - Delete Profiles Script
If Delprof.exe doesn’t float your boat, here’s a script that will do the same. The author claims it works better. I haven’t tested it yet. Let me know if you do.

Windows Admin Script: Defrag Drives Based on Threshold
you should setup this script as a scheduled job to run after hours.
I’m going to start sharing some useful scripts that I use to automate many processes. Most of the ones I will share, I have gathered from the Internet and edited. Who knows just what I will share, but I can guarantee they can help you out with many system admin tasks!
The first one I will share is a Defragment script I have implemented to run every day on many of the XP workstations I manage. Defragmentation is a big problem if not taken care of every once in a while.
What is defragmentation? When a file is saved to the hard drive, it tries to keep everything in the same location (or cluster) Over the course of time files will be deleted, leaving blank areas between files. If you install another large program, the hard drive tries to fill the holes, thus breaking up the program storage block. This effects your system performance by as much as 200% since programs have to access more areas of the hard drive, just to run.
The script I will show below is based on a threshold of fragmentation. A drive will be defragmented only if it’s fragmentation percentage is determined to be equal to or greater than the FragThreshold value. You can edit to whatever you want.
REQUIREMENTS: The script has to be executed locally on only XP or Server 2003 systems and under account with permissions to defragment local fixed drives.

Small update
I added a small script to the site that will allow me to add tags to each post just be including them as keywords in MT. I’m using two scripts to do this.
TechnoratiTags - Plugin for Moveable Type
and
Well is if technorati indexes the site.
Next I’d like to play with FOAF, but since I only have a few friends with websites. I don’t know how usefull it would be.
It’s a nice day out I should be outside, I mowed the lawn earlier today and I need to be doing something if I’m outside. I don’t enjoy just sitting outside.
later,jb

SYSTEM: Tweakomatic v1.0
- [257K]
- WinXP
- FREE
{Trying to outdo TweakUI} Even if you don’t need this program (it’s mostly for administrators), reading the long documentation is a hoot. Seriously! A Microsoft team with a sense of humor. Here’s a taste: “The problem we faced, though, was this: how can we outdo a piece of software as slick and as useful as TweakUI? How can we find a way to provide even more of what customers need and desire? How can we justify playing Age of Mythology all day when we’re supposed to be working? We pondered this dilemma long and hard when suddenly it hit us. There’s only one way to outdo a great piece of software like TweakUI: the Tweakomatic. That, of course, left a hole big enough to drive a Tweakomatic through. The Tweakomatic is a nifty new utility that writes scripts that allow you to retrieve and/or configure Windows and Internet Explorer settings.” It requires IE 6.0 and MS Word to run. We were unable to test Tweakomatic because we don’t have the required setup to do so, but admins might find it useful. [Meryl]
