I use Firefox 3 and hardly EVER use Internet Explorer. So I don't understand
why, no
matter how infrequently I use IE, I find megabytes of files stored in the
'Temporary Internet Files' folder during a disk cleanup. The last time it
happened I found 38mb of files, despite the fact that in the previous
internet sessions I didn't use IE once. Maybe I'm stupid, but
I thought a browser only downloads files from sites you're actually
browsing;
when I check these files I don't recognise any of them. A lot of them are
0kb in size,
have weird names and filetypes like "Status[number].3-digit number".
An example: "Status[4].017".
As I recall, Firefox organises its cache differently and doesn't use the
'C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\' folder, so why are these files continuing to pile
up on my hard drive when I don't even use IE?Where are they coming from? All
I use to browse the 'Net is Firefox.
Cheers,
Tim
