Great stuff, Jay!

Don't you want to post that on ArchiCADWiki ?

Thanks Jay! This will be very handy for cleaning up various temporary files -- the User's can do this themselves (without the need to "bother" me) and I don't have to worry about them deleting the wrong files -- thanks again -- LJY.

I also found this from Eric's website (for those of you (like myself) who have no idea how to set this up) -- LJY

Thanks- Very nice- On my wall here as well, Well Fridge.

I would like to add that I have had to reformat my computer twice now.
That could possibly be one of the most annoying things to have to do when you are working in this feild.
