Temp folders

[L/P]

New to XP.

Have temp folders and files under c:\Win and also under c:\Docs &
Settings\Wabash(user)\local settings.
When I do a disk-clean, most files are cleaned up under the Win folder but
not in Docs & Setting.
Have one only, User setup(Wabash) and it's signed on.
Also notice there is a Temp IE folder under Docs & Settings\wabash\---..

The temp folder has "several" folders under it, including VirusDef, OLTemp,
sr1patch, NAV, etc.etc.etc.

Can/should I manually delete as I've done under WIN98se, the same way as
deleting c:\windows\temp?

suggestions & thanks,

L.

Rt click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environmental Variables and
edit accordingly to have only one TEMP/TMP directory.

What should I edit?
The variable temp and tmp are set up under User Variables for Wabash (user
name) located at c:\Doc & Settings\wabash\ Local setting----, and also under
System Variables c:\windows\temp.
Are tmp files being placed in both locations when created?

This is all new to me so asking for further details/explanations, I'm just
used to working with temp folder/files under c:\windows.
