I am running Win98. In trying to clean up my hard drive, I used Disk Cleanup under accessories to try and delete temporary internet files. It appeared to be removing files; however, when I went to Windows/Temporary Internet Files there were 4 folders: 4imgdeui, 89216xch, Gui3edip and Ulwlang7. All of these folders, including the Temp. have exactly the same thing. When I tried to delete them, there are many that I can't. I thought you should delete these files as a part of a regular maintenance program. Any advice? Thanks, Newton

The easiest way to delete all these files, is to click Start, Programs, MS DOS Prompt. At the C:\Windows prompt, type DELTREE TEMPOR~1 , hit enter. Al

Reboot THEN empty the folder, wins may think they are sill in use   I don’t empty my IE.Temp folder cus all my favorite sites are there "Times New Roman";mso-ansi-language:EN-GB;mso-fareast-language:EN-US; mso-bidi-language:AR-SA">Which means I can sill browse them offline which is handy cus I have to pay for my time online at local rate

I have 100mb of RAM in my computer which is more than I really need. So I use a program called xmsdisk to make a RAM drive. I then set my Netscape and IE5 to place their cached files in the RAM drive. xmsdsk.exe can create any sized RAM file and use any available drive letter. I use 36mb and drive h: for my cached files. When I turn my computer off, the files are gone! This program was made by ZDNet in 1989. You can download it and experiment with it at: http://www.geocities.com/prestonlewis/xmsdisk.zip

I just add the following lines to my autoexec.bat file that way when my pc reboots it always deletes all those files: IF EXIST C:\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\*.* DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\*.* You may also want to do it for the following directories: C:\WINDOWS\COOKIES\*.* C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\*.* C:\WINDOWS\HISTORY\*.*

I got my own program (.exe) which will try to open one of these 'Temporary Internet Files' and it is giving errors like: (1) Sharing violation OR (2) myProgram.exe contains an invalid path (3) FILE_NOT_FOUND, etc. Please help.
