Title: File managing.
Post by: Jonas Wauters on April 30, 2007, 05:26:51 AM

I have Windows XP SP2.
Is it possible to create a file with a limited size.
I also want that the file is automatically cleaned after 24hour.
I would like to do that with build in windows options.(Without any other program that I need to install.)
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Jonas

It looks like its really impossible.
Should I remove the topic?

Why not just have a batch file copy a file of the size of your choosing and delete it after x many seconds?

What you hope to achieve is beyond my imagination, though..

Yes but a batch file need to run whole the time and you ll notice that.
then my batch file would be:(I would have to save it into Programs/startup)

@echo off
cls
:Begin
If exist E:/printer/temp
del /s /q E:/printer/temp
MD E:/printer/temp
WAIT  :P  :-\ ??? -t 3600
GOTO Begin

Is this a good batch file? (accept that I don't know how you can set a delay time.)
I just learned how to create a batch file sow my apologies if its very bad.
 
I want to use E:/printer/temp as a temporary file were we can paste documents that we have to print on the main computer.
The printer sharing doesn't work but file sharing does.

Sow that's my explanation for my request.

Ehm, I don't think I should be helping you as I can see where this is going.

I don't understand what do you mean white:

where this is going.

Shouldn't I stop asking what's the good code?
Or is it something else?

Oh I think I know: Is because I sad you'll notice that.
Sow now you think I'm not allowed to do it.
That's not true at all.
Its just annoying that you have a running windows whole the time.
By the way I'm not good enough to hack or crack a computer not that I want that to be.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
