C:Documents & Settings\
Hi All, This be another funny happening I got...
OS is XP Pro SP1 n Updates......
I go into my "C:Documents & Settings\Name\Local Settings\Temp". (Local Settings is Ghosted)
Temp is Choka FULL in here, can I Delete All thats in there...!!
Plus the Temp Internet Files thats in there as Well...??
Also when I click on the HISTORY Folder it don't open ever, everything closes down, deskop icons refresh n everything in Quick Launch deletes/closes down, except Nortons n browser....Any Ideas as to WHY it's doing this!!!?......Never knew that XP kept a Temp Folder n Temp Internet Files Folder in there besides elsewhere...
Why does XP keep Doubleing up...Hope U can Help...THANKS...

XP appears to 'double-up' because it keeps separate areas for each user -- you don't necessarily want your co-workers to be able to look through your temp files and Internet history.
Temporary Internet Files are best cleared through IE -- Tools | Internet Options | Delete Files. Stuff in the Temp directory should be safe to delete if it's not currently in use, but you might want to do it straight after a reboot anyway.

Go get Toni Art's Easy Cleaner: http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/dwnloads.htm
I've trusted it finding temp(and other)files that it can delete for quite some time with no problems. Only function you need to be careful with is the 'duplicate files'. If you don't know exactly what your deleting there, you can be in trouble...
