Empty IE temp files on exit not working.

[Frank Jelenko]

The IE temp files in Document and Settings/ /Local Settings/Temporary
Internet Files are not being deleted [they were a couple days ago].

I've unchecked/applied, re checked/applied 'Empty Temporary Files folder
when browser is closed'.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sorry for replying to my own post

Fixed the problem by moving the location of the Temporary Internet Files
folder. [Then, moved it back to the original location].

FYI:

"Disk clean-up" doesn't and never has in any version of Windows I've
ever used. If you really want all that stuff gone you've got to do it
the hard way; search and destroy. Same goes for telling IE to clean up
the crap. Do either or both, then search for *.tmp files or/and
temporary internet files & cookies, you'll see.

Best way I know of *really* cleaning TIF is to boot with F8 to take
Safe Mode Command Prompt.

In that navigate with CD to Temporary Internet Files, and use
DEL *.* /S /F
