deleting/removing files from Temp
I run W2kPro sp4 desktop using Mozilla, Norton Suite, SpySweeper and AdAware -all up to date . I was checking email from one of my subscribed joke lists the other day, and clicked on a link for an .swf file type cartoon. I was immediately innundated with multiple windows opening - totally out of control. Ended up closing the browser. and then restarting it. Everything still works fine, but in Boot drive C, under Docs/Settings, Administrator, Local Settings, Temp, I found many copies of this swf file. I could select and delete most of them, but still have 13 instances of name.1.1.1.1......swf file that I cannot remove or delete. I have tried selecting and deleting; right click / delete but to no avail. I have run Spy / AdAware and done virus checks but nothing shows up. As this Temp folder is a system folder, is there a way to delete it completely and let w2k add it again on reboot? HOw do I get rid of these examples of the .swf file? Somewhere in the registry is a key or whatever that should allow me to remove these files, but I do not know exactly where it is, or which one it is exactly. I normally don't run as Admin, but use my user acct., just in a hurry this time and messed up. Any help with a solution would be gratefully and greatly appreciated. I normally run with Java off and Javascript enabled, but was wondering if I really even need the Jscript enabled for most things.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
