Is there a way to set up a folder on a 2000 server that will automatically delete files that are over a certain time period old?

Pretty simple solution would be to create
a .exe file and scheduled to run on a
time period assigned.

I've used a VBS script, and had it scheduled to run during certain times. I can't include my script here, but I can point you to a script that works as well - and is easily modified.

I like this script, as it includes logging - and also does subdirectories as well. Take a look at it, and let me know if you need any help getting it to work.

Hope that helps.
