Running a Shutdown Script ONLY on Friday

B

I went to Microsoft's website and learned how to specify a shutdown script.
However, the script I made deletes roaming profiles that are on the machine, minus a few administrative related ones.

How can I specify that this script is only to run on shutdown on friday's?
 
I would need to know if this is a cmd.exe script, vbscript (etc) to be more specific. But basically have your script check for the day of the week and exit if it is not Friday.
 
Thought I should at least post where I've gotten so far.

IF %DATE:~0,3% == MON ECHO "Today is monday"

does not echo "Today is monday" though when I just echo the data variable with those options it echoes MON.

Nevermind. Its Mon. No All caps.

Sorry about wasting your time. Should have waited to post about another minute. 😀
 
Just use the built-in task scheduler in the control panel. Select the batch file and then select weekly and then select Friday then the time you want it to run.
