Windows\SoftwareDistribution Folder Cleanup Automation

Hi -

I have a number of machines with a bloated Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.  I usually address this by:

1. Stopping the Automatic Updates service.
2. Deleting the Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.
3. Restarting the Automatic Updates service.

I'm considering using a computer startup script to perform this task automatically.  Does anyone have a more elegant method of automating this task?

Thanks in advance for your input.
