Hi Howard,
Ya know, I just replyed to Chuck about this and I thought he was talking about
the Temporary Internet Files when he advised me to do the same thing that you
just did, but, upon closer examination I believe the Temporary Files he was
referring to are indeed in the Temp folder.
Unfortunately the disk cleanup feature indicates that there are zero megs to
delete and yet when I actually look in the Temp folder its loaded with stuff.
Go figure!
So, if the disk cleanup feature does not see that there are indeed things in
the folder and does not give me the option to delete them the question then is
how do I determine what to delete manually.
Any advice?

Hi Jeff ... Go to Start>Programs>Accessories>System tools>disk cleanup. Click
on that and a box will open asking which drive to clean. If C is your main
disk, select that and then OK. Another 3 tab box will open and it
shows the items to be cleaned. You have the option to tic the boxes to the
left of each item. Click to highlight any line and read the message in the box
below. It will tell you what is safe and what it will NOT delete as
well. Click each line and read the message. If you decide to do it, tic each
box that you want done and then OK. It will as you to verify that you want to
delete before proceeding. Mine is cleaned every night and anything
that needs to be left there ... is.
