I was hoping that a few of you guys would be a able to answer a windows question. I empty my temporary internet files folder on a regular basis but I've never done emptied the TEMP folder. Is this something that should be done or should I not mess with this. thanks to all who reply. |

Yeah you can empty that fine. also .chk files can go too. I'm more Amiga myself tho. |

Also, you can delete cookies if you don't want to be caught surfing for porn. Also History. |

thanks guys, only it says something first about there being hidden files and then something about windows or another program possably not working write if this "cookie" folder is deleted. is this normal? |

Hmm, I'm not an expert, but cookies should not have anything to do with programs. They are given to you by websites you visit so they have an information on you the next time you visit.... |

Delete the contents, not the folder. |
||||||||
|

it says the folder cookies is a systems folder. if you delete it windows or another program may not work correctly. would you like to send cookies to the recycle bin? I feel like I've got my finger on a bomb. |
||||||||

or delete them from within IE itself... Theres a delete cookies option...under Tools/Internet Options... That's the safest way of doing it.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't delete the folder... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

True, you can do it from your browser. |

Damn, jand beat me here. But he might not be using IE, you know. |
||||||||

|
|
but what is the difference between the TEMP folder and temporary internet files folder? sorry to be such a pest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That bugged me too for years. |
||||||||

ahh...I see. You would like me to suffer as well. meho, you wizard please down the knowledge to this lurker:) |

Temp folder contains temp files from your local drive. You can delete the content but not the actual folder. Internet Temp contains temporary files from the internet. Again you can delete the content but not the actual folder. |

Perceptor: no, I don't want you to suffer... Unless it involves a black-haired, latex-clothed, spiky-heals wearing domina and you can tape it on a video and send it over to me. Otherwise, I'm pretty dumb and ignorant when it comes to computers, so what the hell was I doing giving you an advice in the first place is a mystery... |

you should do this run the regedit and delet all contents that make your pc run faster. don't do that i'm only joking:) |
||||||||

|

|
|
In the folders....you can delete any notepad file but not the windows icon files as they are the core programme for running the cookie/temp int file system! Just go to COntrol Panel>Int Options>Dele Temp Int Files>Tick Dele all offline contect.......ok Then (If you have Win ME) - Delete cookies. |
