[Leica] OT - Spacemonger saves the day

[clive.moss at gmail.com (Clive Moss)]

I have a little batch file that I run every now and then.
The magic incantation is:

cd %temp%
dir /O-D /P
Pause
rd %temp% /s /Q
md %temp%
dir /O-D /P
pause

The Pauses are there so that I can convince myself that I am not 
automatically blowing away all my pics, or something I really want.

Basically, all this does is blow away the system's temporary directory, 
and recreate it. If any of the temp files are actually in use, they do 
not get deleted.
