cmd.exe not compiling

[cr0n1c]

sorry im n00b guys...

I've been working on a script for like ever and can't get it to go right.
I wanna make a program to dump the temp, history, cookie, etc.

Please bare with me...

 #include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
    FILE * pFile;
    char str [20];
    char sentence [255];
    printf("Please enter the user to be cleaned: /n");
    scanf("%s", str);
    printf(cmd.exe /k C:\\DOCUME~1\\%s\\LOCALS~1\\TEMP\\*.*);
    fgets (sentence,255,stdin);
    pFile = fopen ("cleanup.bat","w");
    fputs (sentence,pFile);
    fclose (pFile);
    return 0;
}
 

Now should i define the backspace as octal or hex it should exec as is... I'm hoping to find a way to use two scans. One for the username and one for the sentence, command itself. I want the program to be used on winnt/xp and create a batch file in the startup. Any help is better than none, and this is my first time posting. Thanks.

printf(cmd.exe /k C:\\DOCUME~1\\%s\\LOCALS~1\\TEMP\\*.*);

This won't compile. The first argument to printf() must be a char* string.

Also, since this is for Windows, you should be using TCHAR mappings instead of native types: char str [20] should be TCHAR str[20] and printf("Please enter the user to be cleaned: /n") should be printf(TEXT("Please enter the user to be cleaned: /n")). Etc...
