Windows Server - delete user junk files (temp, cookies and temp. internet files) via login script

hello,
I have been searching for a way to delete user junk files like it states
in subject box.
Setting IE settings to clear temp files when the browser is closed
does NOT work.
Making disk space 0 for temp files also leaves plenty of junk files
behind.

The only way I have seen to clear the files is manually.

I have found this script to erase the junk files.  It works by putting
it in the all users folder in startup.

c:
cd\
cd C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files
del *.* /f/s/q
cd \
cd c:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp
del *.* /f/s/q
exit

What is a good way to make this work via login (or logout) scripts via
active directory?

Thank you,

Oskar

You could just set the users to not cache
