Disk cleanup is part of my routine before shutting down every day. Once
in a while I choose "View files." That's the "temp file" that
everyone's advised to clean out alla time, right?

Well, I've used Windows for years and I still don't understand...what IS
all that crap? Eight folders full mostly of 0K files, plus a .dat and an
..ini. Disk Cleanup doesn't seem to remove it. One, for example

C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\WPMZO9UV

has this AdbeRdr60_enu_full.exe from before Christmas and it's
SIXTEEN MEGABYTES!

So, how DO you "clean out your temp file" -- go into each folder,
"Select All," and "Delete"? And do you have to worry about those .dat
and .ini files?

Thanks,
JPM

which searching would become incredibly slow.
You may go to control panel - internet options, and delet the cache files
(including files you "recently" downloaded) from there. You can as well set
the default cache size to somewhat lower than the 10 percent of drive
capacity that it got assigned by default.
Btw. if you try out Firefox, it has a similar setting, but also rss feeds,
tabbed browsing, a favorites bar and a much better bookmark management.
It will offer to import all your IE bookmarks and settings too.
