temporary ie 1

[mmosier]

I have been trying to get rid of temporary internet files. I go to find and type "*.tmp,~*.*" in C drive. I also go to internet through control panal and delete all files. even go to explore. Then if I go to "find" type the letter "a" and I get on adverage about 750 "Temporary internet files\content IE5\...". Same for rest of alphabet.In deleting I sometimes get "cannot delete index-access denied" , "system file...." or "This is a Read Only..." . I also get cookies, tmp and temp which I am cautious to delete since some are short for template it seems. Help

Bravo Sly979, great link.

Since 9x boots to DOS first, it is not too hard to automate better privacy.

My startup runs through a bunch of deltrees, which handles the IE problems. Outllook I have finally loaded just for tests. I'll have to look into that.

If you do some of these deltrees your system will be a little faster and more reliable.

You need to test these, as we have no IE and only recently let Outlook on systems.

Run disk cleanup and make sure temporary internet files (box)is checked.
