Creating a batch file

The problem i have is that i am looking to set up the schedulers to run a
disk clean-up on my machines But the machines have multi partitions and i
only require the C Drive to be cleaned out. I have been told that to get the
scheduler to complete the task whilst away from the machines that I would
need to create a batch file and allow the scheduler to run the batch file.
if this is correct can anyone give me the text for the batch file that would
run the disk clean-up

Many thanks

What program do you mean by "disk clean-up"? I'm afraid I can't write a
batch file unless I know what program it is you're trying to run.

The general syntax of the batch file would be:

@echo off
REM batch file to do xyz
Drive:\fullpath\exectuable /switches <target> > c:\temp\batchfile.log

See MS KB article: Q253597.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q253597. It's all
about how to automate disk cleanup using cleanmgr.
