Does Delprof offer this option that is available using a manual deletion of a profile?

"When you choose to delete a user account in the User Accounts tool in Control Panel, you receive the following prompt:
Do you want to keep User's files?
Before you delete User's account, Windows can automatically save the contents of User's desktop and My Documents folder to a new folder called User on your desktop. However, Windows cannot save User's e-mail messages, Internet favorites, and other settings."

Linney,

No. You are referring to deleting a User Account, rather than deleting a user profile. Delprof does the latter, including by date of last activity as the original poster asked.
