[K12OSN] desktop.ini

[Petre Scheie]

If you run this as root:

find /home -name desktop.ini -ok rm {} \;

it will find all the desktop.ini files in /home, and then ask you if you want to delete 
each one that it finds.  The first time through, answer 'no' so that you still have some 
files to work with.  Assuming you it finds the files you want to delete, you can change 
it to this:

find /home -name desktop.ini -exec rm {} \;

This will find the files and delete them without out asking you for confirmation.  If 
that works as desired, put the command into a shell script:

echo "find /home -name desktop.ini -exec rm {} \;" >delete_desktop.ini_files

Then, edit your crontab file ('crontab -e') and schedule the delete_desktop.ini_files to 
run once a day, say, at 2:05am, like so:

05 2 * * * /path/to/delete_desktop.ini_files

Good luck.
