Hi. I've just cleared my history list in internet explorer. I'm wondering if it's a good idea to also delete the temporary files and the cookies. Please can anyone tell me what cookies actually do because I'm not sure. I'm just trying to keep the computer running as it should. Thanks I'm going to do a defrag and a disc clean up later.
