Re: Removing *,tmp file
Hello VJ, Welcome to TSF! :wave:
Windows® does have a couple of built-in 'garbage cleaners'.
1: Right click > Internet Explorer Desktop Icon > Properties > Delete cookies > OK > Delete Files > Tick the box > Delete all offline content > OK ...now click the Content Tab > Clear SSL State > OK .
2: How to use the Windows® XP Disk CleanUp tool. ( Click the coloured link. )
These two utilities will help keep the HDD 'clean'...use them both regularly, as well as using The Disk Defragmenter once a week.
Both of them will only delete the unnecessary 'garbage', whereas other system cleaners can remove vital files.
I have got into the habit of using Method One every night as part of the shutdown process, and Method Two once a week.
3: Go Start > Run > type in the box msconfig > Enter.
This opens the System Configuration Utility > StartUp > list here are all the programs that are set to start with Windows®.
Untick those that you do not want to start with Windows > Apply > ok; the computer will want to reboot; allow it to do so.
If you are unsure which programs are safe to disable; post a list here and we will advise you.
Please Note: Do Not disable your Anti Virus or 'real time' Anti Spyware programs.
Upon restarting, a Pane will open stating that you have altered the StartUp Configuration; tick the box Don't show this message again, and you are right to go.
Try these 3 methods, then post back with the results.
Kind Regards,
