Answer 2

We use xxcopy scripts that we create and that are executed from task scheduler as Forgotten Semicolon mentions above.

Answer 3

Here's a Powershell script that I run as a scheduled task:

dir c:\directory-to-watch | where {$_.LastWriteTime -lt
    [DateTime]::Today.AddDays(-7)} | del

Delete all files not touched in the last seven days from c:\directory-to-watch.
