Hi,
  I work in a public computing lab here at the University of Pittsburgh, and
we have a recurring problem of people (accidently, or otherwise) saving files
on our startup disks.  Removing them becomes a job which must be done a couple
of times a week, as the 800k disks only have about 58k available when fresh.
Add to this a bloated desktop, and the disks are getting pretty full.

  My question is this:
  We use Temperament II to "nuke" to settings and temp files from the system 
folder (constantly checking for new ones to add to the list).  The question is
-Is there an init (pref. freeware) which caould be given a list of filenames
NOT to nuke.  I.e., we tell it that these files belong on the disk & it removes
everything else.

And answers appreciated!!!
