Where's that damn folder at? The button to do it in Internet Options just has things running for a long time but not end. I guess this could just mean I have a crapload of stuff in there, but I'd like to see for myself.

Also: is this where the Cookies are too?

Set yourself to view hidden folders, then browse to X:\Documents and Settings\<User Name, you'll need to clean them all>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Just leave it running. It will take just as long using explorer as it would with IE. Also it really doesnt help to have multi-gb of temp files, when the common file size is ~20 kb.

Copy this on Notepad and save it as a .bat file then run it.

I think this would work on XP since it works well on 95 and ME. I use it all the time to clean things up.

No, not even close.

WinXP is a multi-user system for the ground up. It isnt a partially baked version like the Win9x line.

Use the command prompt, it is the fastest way. It is stored in:

Code: Select all

"%USERPROFILE%\Temporary Internet Files"

simplest way is as follows:

start>settings>taskbar and menu properties

click on start menu. then click on customize, assuming you're using classic start menu. from there click the clear button that's next to the recycle bin icon.
