Why not use wsh, vbscript and the scripting.filesystemobject - should
all be available on a standard win2k3 install
something like (WARNING!!! not tested!!!):
set objFso=createObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
folder = "c:\thisFolder" 'or whatever - you could even use prompt() to
enter it in each time
set objFolder = fso.getFolder(folder)
for each file in objFolder
if dateDiff("d", file.dateCreated, now) > 21 then file.delete
next
set objfolder=nothing
set objFSO=nothing
There is also a file.dateLastModified property if that is more appropriate
