>>can I delete everything in windows temp folder ?<< I guess, maybe, perhaps "generally okay" <g> I found this definitive answer in the Microsoft magazine. >> Get rid of those temp files As for temporary files, most of them are removed when you shut down the system or when you quit applications. But never the less they always seem to gather-for instance if the machine crashes or through other anomalous events. It helps to remove them manually every once in a while using the following process. 1. Open My Computer and select your harddrive, usually C: and open it. 2. In your Windows directory browse to the Temp subdirectory, the default location for temporary files. 3. Click List in the View menu and click details. 4. In the Arrange Icons menu click By Date 5. Select all the files and folders with dates earlier than today ( they are no longer being used) and put them in the recycle bin. You may find some .exe files among them, and it is generally okay to delete these-often they are just left over from installation programs. If you feel uncomfortable deleting them, it is okay to leave them. 6. Empty your recycle bin<<
