In the first instance, you may as well use Windows own in-built "disk
Cleanup". Go to My Computer, right click on the drive in question,
and click on the "Disk Cleanup" button. The system will chunter away
for a while, and eventually come up with a screen giving you a list of
files and folders it want to delete, asking if you wish to proceed.
It's quite safe to simply say OK at this point, since it will not
delete any of your personal files, etc., only temporary files and such
like. This process will take a while also if not done for a while.
Ideally after you have done this, you should de-fragment the drive,
but we can deal with that later.
George.

Thanks Barry, I've seen my cookies ok.
Can you tell me if your programme would help me clear history? Better
still, as I don't like downloading programmes, how do I do that
manually, I have done it once or twice, but forgotten totally how to
do that now.
Thanks for the help. Christine.

I've been using C Cleaner a Freeware app from
http://www.ccleaner.com
For around 4 years now. Clears cookies, and lots of other
Caches.

Hi Christine, either you can do it manually as foolows:
click on my computer. go to local drive C. go to documents
and settings, then to the administrator folder, which may be called
administrator, or may be called your name. In there you'll find a
folder called cookies. Select all the files with control a and press
delete. You'll get a message from windows asking you if you want to
delete them. Say yes. The only file in there it won't delete is
index.dat.
Alternatively, if you let me have your email address I'll
send you the programme I use to clear my cookies. My email address is
johncoley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
John.

Hi Andy, I take it he clears his cookies? If
he doesn't over time that will slow a system to a crawl.

Thanks Barry - this was for a friend,
his machine has been running very slow, as in taking ages to open a
web page, or even the control panel, this is why I thought the virtual
memory thing might be the issue; I had him look there, but although
swap file by name wasn't there under system\advance\performance,
vertual memory was, and it had the number 575 against it, telling us
we could extend it to a maximum of 776--not sure about these
numbers--anyway, it didn't help, perhaps is machine is knackered! -

Andy,
You'll need to increase your Virtual
Memory. In Control Panel. To set these values, click System, click
Advanced system settings , and then click Settings under Performance.
Typically 1.5 times your installed RAM is the number most home-users
need.
How much RAM do you have int hat
machine? It may be an idea to upgrade.
Cheers,
Barry

Hi all - Can somebody give me some
pointers regarding the swap file for an XP machine?
A message pops ups saying something
about shortage of virtual space or memory, and if I recall correctly,
this is something to do with the swap file, but I don't know where to
access it, or what to do with it <smile>
Help appreciated -
Andy
