question about SQL 2005 Maintenance Plan...

it's about the Maintance plan clean up task...in sql2k, you can just
specify all system databases in maintenance plan and purge files older
than a specified time (i.e. 2 days old), but in 2k5, there is a
seperate maintenance clean up task, you can't specify the database
(i.e. all system dbs) or directory (and include sub folders). does that
mean I have to create 3 tasks just to delete old files for master,
msdb, and model? that would be really dumb, or am I missing something?
Thank you.I have the exact same question.
Anybody can help ?
