AUTOGENERATION OF .tmp files

[RAHUL GHOSH]

Can anyone please tell me that why whenever I log on to
the internet, some .tmp files(0kb size)like "fffe4025_
{92222E13-EC53-4F22-B044-A3652FDCF454}.tmp" are
autogenerated in my windows folder??? In this way
these .tmp files are forming a huge garbage in my system
everytime I connect to the net..
Is there any remedy to prevent this autogeneration of
these .tmp files parmanently??
please help,
Regards,
Rahul...

In the Windows folder ??
C:\WINDOWS ??

Start | Run | Type: cmd | OK |
When the window pops up | Type:

set T

Hit the Enter key

What do these show??
TEMP=
TMP=

That is where your temp files should show up.
=================

No way to stop it. Unless you want to stay offline.

To clean out 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
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.

To clear the Internet History in IE:
1) Open Internet Explorer and click on Tools
2) Click on Internet Options
3) On the General Tab, in the middle of the screen, click on Clear History
4) Click OK
