Temp File Purging & TEMP INTERNET & COOKIES

[Guest]

I was So familiar with 98 but now have XP...In 98 I was able to access
cookies, TEMP FILES & TEMP INTERNET FILES by just clicking on WINDOWS Temp &
Temp INTERNET FILES..ALso was able to look @ cookies this way by the file
tree.

...My question is HOW DO I DO THE SAME PROCESS IN XP ?

(e-mail address removed)

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

They are individualized to each user, look under:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Cookies

You will also find a C:\Windows\temp folder that is there for backwards
compatibility with programs that expect it.

Open internet options,settings,view files,to delete,close
settings,click,delete
cookies,delete files.For the Temp or Tmp files,go to run,type:%Temp%
then go to edit,select all,delete all,close-out,empty recycle bin.

To open your temporary folder...
Start | Run | Type: %temp% | OK |
Click the folders icon to show the tree view in the left hand pane.
Or...
Start | Run | Type: %tmp% | OK

To open WINDOWS\temp folder...
Start | Run | Type: %windir%\temp | OK

To open your Cookies folder...
Start | Run | Type: %homedrive%%homepath%\Cookies | OK |

To delete *all* Temporary Internet Files...

1) Start | Run | Type: inetcpl.cpl | OK
Or right click the Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop.
Or: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Internet Options.
Best to do this with all instances of Internet Explorer closed. Especially
if there are a large number of files.
2) On the General Tab, in the middle of the screen, click on Delete Files
3) Check the box Delete all offline content {This cleans >> C:\Documents
and Settings\YourNameHere\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files AND
C:\Documents and Settings\YourNameHere\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5 and \Content.MSO
4) Click on OK and wait for the hourglass icon to stop after it deletes the
temporary internet files
5) You can now click on Delete Cookies and click OK to delete cookies that
websites have placed on your hard drive.
