Temp Internet Win 2000

tom468 · 07-29-2004, 02:50 AM

Hi,

I have just upgraded to Win 2000 from Win 98.

On a regular basis, I would clear the Temp, and Temp Internet files, espechially Temp Internet files, as they can take us so much space! Thumnails and banners etc.. that the computer saves for some reason!

Now I am on 2000, I cant find a Temp Internet File?

Is there one?

Surely there is something similar on 2000?

Is there?

Thanks

c:\documents and settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temp
c:\documents and settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Where %USERNAME% is your username or the username of the person whose files you are cleaning.

You can clear the temp Internet files in IE, Tools, Internet Options, Delete Files

You could also use the "Disk Cleanup" tool found in Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
