Sounds like you are trying to delete a file that you can't (e.g. it might be in 
use, or you don't have the necessary permissions)

Subject: Vbscript being dumb?

I'm trying to make a simple script to delete all files in the users %temp% 
directory.

Here's what I've got:
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strTempPath = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%TEMP%")
strPath = strTempPath & "\*.*"

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFile(strPath)

When I run the script, it returns "(6, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: 
Permission denied"
If I change the "*.*" to say "*.txt" it works fine.

What gives?
Note: I'm not really a VBscript person, but I'd rather find a way to make this 
work so the scripts use the same language then I would to rip them all out and 
redo them in Kixtart..
