Try this:
R click Internet Explorer>R Properties>Clear History>Delete Cookies>Delete Files:check Delete all offline content. OK
That should clean out a LOT of the junk!;)

Go to find files and type in *.tmp What browser are you using? In IE right click on IE icon/explore and you will see temp internet files click on the delete button

Guys, sometimes it's not working..
You can find all *temp* files -
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_WINDOWS_ACCOUNT\Cookies\
and
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_WINDOWS_ACCOUNT\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\ALL_DIRECTORIES_WHICH_YOU_SEE_HE RE
also you can see for temp files at others directories in
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_WINDOWS_ACCOUNT\
may be you'll find something else.
But not forget make "show hidden files" option ON in your shell-program :)
Good luck!

I do this alot of times and it works:

Click Start/Shut Down/RESTART IN MS-DOS MODE

Once @ the C prompt type this in:

cd windows

deltree /y cookies

deltree /y history

deltree /y tempor~1

After you've dont all that type "exit" -- Windows will boot back up

Sometimes files get stuck in limbo and the only way to delete them is by shutting down windows and doing the above from dos :)

Good luck zip316 :)

D/L and install CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp) and clear everything temp, tmp, bck, history, etc.
You choose what to erast. Very good program.
Good luck.:wave:
