Removing Temporary Internet files in Simple Manner

[Judy]

I'm New to XP version of Windows. In ME & 98 versions, a
quick way to delete temp internet files was to right-
click on start, then Explore, then scroll to temp
internet files, then edit/select all the file/delete. I
cannot find how to delete these temp files in XP. If
anyone can provide a simple way such as the one I
mentioned above for 98 & ME, please let me know. Thanks.

Same as 98, Control Panel> internet options, delete temp
internet files

Hi Judy
Right click the Internet Explorer on your desk top/click properties/ locate
and click the delete files button/click the ok button in the dialogue box
that appears/then the ok button to exit Internet Options. If you so choose
click the Advanced tab in Internet Properties/ scroll down and look for the
"Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed" option and
put a check there. This will delete the temporary files folder each time you
close your browser.

Hi,

Control Panel/Internet Options/Delete files

Same way as you should be doing it in Win9x as well.

Win Xp is a multi-user OS. To do what you want similar to Win 9x/Me, you
need to drill down one more level (that is, go to the User-Name you log-in
with).

1. Right click Start / Explore /
2. scroll to your User-Acct, example <Judy>, or <Owner>, etc
3. click "Local Settings"
4. that's where you'll find "temp" and "temp internet files" sub-folders.

XP (2000, NT) differs to 9x/Me mainly in segregation of User Profiles
for added security and User control and protection. The Owner (Admin)
is the "parent" while the new user-acct created is the "child" in hierachy
levels.
The parent can give privileges to the child, including admin rights or
limited
privileges.

The disadvantage for using the NT core if you have "older" software, where
the
program may only know a single level (single user setup) as opposed to
multi-user
setup (different user profile paths).
