Delete PI DataLink settings for all users on a computer

Administrators can delete the PI DataLink settings for all users on a computer. The next time users open PI DataLink, they will have the default settings from a new installation.

1. Create a batch file that deletes the OSIsoft.PIDataLink.xml file.

   @echo off
   
   SET ProfileBase=%SystemDrive%\Users
   SET AppDir=APPDATA\Local
   SET DefaultUsername=Default
   
   ECHO Deleting XML settings file from all users.
   for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /b /ad-h "%ProfileBase%"') do if 1==1 (
   ECHO Deleting "%ProfileBase%\%%a\%AppDir%\OSIsoft,_Inc".
   rmdir "%ProfileBase%\%%a\%AppDir%\OSIsoft,_Inc" /s /q
   )
   
   ECHO Deleting "%ProfileBase%\%DefaultUsername%\%AppDir%\OSIsoft,_Inc".
   rmdir "%ProfileBase%\%DefaultUsername%\%AppDir%\OSIsoft,_Inc" /s /q

2. From Windows Explorer, right-click the batch file and then select Run as administrator.
