Now this seem fairly cool, a utility that will allow you to monitor running applications, take action upon conditions met and give you great statistics. All in all it looks promising enough. I will hopefully be giving it a spinn shortly.

And yes sure enough, nothing super good is free and hence you seem to have to pay for the advanced features, but lets first see if its worth the money 😉
note;
I just did a quick install on a virtual pc and I am a bit disappointed, both the layout of the software and the timers in it seem to be off. Could be that its because of the virtual environment but….So if you have a PHP driven web hotel and want to create a simple browsing system for your files there (lets say you got a directory with subfolders and files etc that users need to browse around in), well take a look at TotalIndex it looks simple enough and furthermore its free 😀 nice..
This post (see below) was taken from Scott’s blog and works for Vista/2003/2008, I am yet to find the cool solution for XP.
This problem has nagged at me for years. Here is a batch command to delete files on a Windows 2003 machine.
Forfiles -p c:ackup -s -m *.* -d -5 -c “cmd /c del /q @path”
This will delete all files in my backup directory older than 5 days. To test it first, use this:
Forfiles -p c:ackup -s -m *.* -d -5 -c “Cmd /C Echo 0x22@Path@File0x22”
Workarounds for XP users might be;

Hmm the below seem to be some unix variant, but maybe something similar is possible in Windows.

find /path/to/files* -mtime +5 -exec rm {} ;
