Not yet. Put the following in test.cmd 

"%ProgramFiles%\NX Client for Windows\nxclient.exe"
cacls "%USERPROFILE%\.nx" /T /G SYSTEM:F 
cacls "%USERPROFILE%\.ssh" /T /G SYSTEM:F

I didn't test this.
If you want to allow the Administrator to delete this, you will need an additional /G Administrator:F

Unfortunately the name Administrator changes with the language of Windows.
