I use Systems Mechanic 7 Pro; software from Iolo.com; includes firewall, antivirus, registry cleaner, defrag, internet junk removal etc as well as all other options needed to keep your PC running, responding and performing at top speed. They offer a 30 day free trial--downloadable from their site. You can set personal options or go with suggested. User friendly & priced right. Try it out let me know what you think. Good Luck KatDee

Nope, not EVERYTHING. Because the very first night when it deletes the Windows programs the computer would stop working.
You can write a batch file that deletes everything in SPECIFIC directories. Then use the Task Scheduler to run that file at 1:00 am every day.

No. Deleting everything but one folder is impossible since something that has to delete it has to be contained in another folder. That's theoretically speaking, there are also operating systems' folders which can't just be deleted like any other folder.

Install Microsoft Virtual PC. It allows you to create a virtual PC and does not write any permanent files to your disc. It's free from the MS site and you will be able to start fresh every day.

There is no way to set it up automatically. Try searching on line for a program that would be able to do that for you..... my question is why would you want to do that?

to my knowledge there is not, unless it is the temp internet files.
You can have that cleared when you close the window. Here is a link that will tell you how to do this.
