As title really.

Need something that will auto delete files after they become x days old. I dont have a clue about scripts but if thats the best way then I would appreciate pointing in the right direction

Thanks, Mark

Would the Windows scheduler be able to do this? Not really looked at it, in any great detail...

create a batch file, and put some delete lines in there, then add it as a windows schedule task

The more difficult part would be getting it to compare the current date against the creation-date of the file, and working out if it's more than x days old......am sure it's possible, though.
