    Delete MP3s from a server.

    We have a server that holds students' home folders, but we don't want them to keep mp3s on there.

    Is there a way to script this so that they are either;

    (A) unable to save them there in the first place?
    (B) deleted on a schedule that we can set?

    We would prefer to do this with a script of some kind rather than a 3rd party application.

    I know how to do it with a batch file in a single folder, but I dont' know how to make it search the whole tree.

    Any help appreciated.

    In our college they only allow us a small amount of memory in our folder which is just enough to hold documents. Although I run mp3s off my flash drive.

    Yeah we have quotas enabled, so the drivespace is limited, but we want to specifically restrict the use of mp3s though.
