   This is working really great.  Thank you very much.   
      
   del /F /S c:\*.tmp c:\*._mp c:\*.log > "%~f0"CleanTempDeletedFiles.txt 2>nul   
      
   The only thing that isn't the greatest is in the deletedfiles.txt file it's   
   showing the files that do get deleted saying they are deleted.  The files that   
   are in use or have Accesses denied show the file name with no reason.   
      
   It would be nice to see "Not accessible" by the files that don't get deleted.   
      
   The delete cmd is working great.   
      
   Thanks,
