Temporary Internet Files 1

[gcw1]

Hi, we have over 200 computers on a network using profiles. Server is NT and each computer is win98. I would like to know if there is a way of preventing the TIF (Temporary Internet Files) from being saved, or at least purged when the user logs in or out. The TIF size seems to be causing problems on our computers with smaller hard drives. I have tried limiting the size of the TIF folder, but the changes I make don't seem to do anything. I went into Internet Options > General > Settings and set the size to what I want it at, that didn't do anything even though it still says the size is what I changed it to. I rebooted to DOS and used deltree c:windows\tempor~1... I thought maybe that the changes would go into effect when the folder was recreated, but still nothing. Can anyone help me with this.

Thanks.

Glenn

This is a program that fixes serious bugs in the Internet Explorer cache manager (versions 3.0 on up through and including Internet Explorer for Windows XP, and IE6). This program basically takes over the job of managing the cache from Internet Explorer, and the result is your web
browsing session will be more enjoyable. CacheSentry isn't like those "web acceleration" programs that hook into IE and attempt to make guesses about your browsing habits. CacheSentry simply does a better job of removing files from the cache, and fixes a few other bugs present in most versions of Internet Explorer.

Empty Temp Folders (emptemp) helps you manage folders that contain temporary files, left over by other applications. It's easy to add any folder and you can empty a folder (or all folders) with one click.

Also emptemp will let you list and delete cookies, history files and temporary internet files (this requires MS Internet Explorer version 5+).

Emptemp also has a search function to let you find and delete temporary files outside the normal temp folders. Any program can leave behind temporary files or backup files anywhere on your harddisk. These files have file types like .tmp, .bak, .old and .log. You can add your own
file types.

Emptemp also displays the amount of memory the content of the clipboard takes up, and lets you delete it. And it can find broken shortcuts (.lnk files) on your harddisk, so you can delete or fix them.

Can be automated .
