Temporary Internet files
I have discovered tens of thousands of files containing
the ~ symbol that appear to be nothing more than temporary Internet files of duplicates of existing files. Can I simply do a "Find Files or Folders" and delete these files? |

Temporary Internet files
The usual way to clear your cache.
IE-Tools-Internet Options-Delete Files (in the TIF section) There are no real duplicates in TIF, despite what you see. Read here for a bit of insight: Description of the Internet Explorer CACHE http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/answers3.htm#Cache ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.performance, "David E." wrote: I have discovered tens of thousands of files containing the ~ symbol that appear to be nothing more than temporary Internet files of duplicates of existing files.

Temporary Internet files
Open your Temporary Internet File go to Edit
Select All then hit delete. They are not needed and only hamper you system. Also after a fresh reboot you can dump the Temp, Cookies, and Applog they are not needed and will rebuild. Scandisk and defrag work better when these are kept cleaned out. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- I have discovered tens of thousands of files containing the ~ symbol that appear to be nothing more than temporary Internet files of duplicates of existing files.

Temporary Internet files
Made it to my PC and here are some steps that I
use to keep it clean and running smooth. Right click My Computer, left Explore, left on +C, left on +Windows, clean out Applog, Cookies, Temp, and Temporary Internet Files. Right click on Task bar, left on Properties, Start Menu Programs and clear. Get Laversoft http://lavasoft.element5.com/purchase/ Now go Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and Maintenance Wizard. -----Original Message----- Open your Temporary Internet File go to Edit Select All then hit delete.
