Localsettings/Temp
Can the folder "temp" be deleted without causing problems. I'm talking about the one in the Documents and Settings folder.
Thanx for your help.

I would just delete the contents. The profile could get pissy if the folder disappears, but anything residing in it is garbage.
Hope that helps. -coldfront |

The system will recreate the folder if it's deleted...

I just deleted everything in the folder. So far so good. I thought I should be able to do it, but, better to check with you guys first.
Thanx again. |

I would recommend it actually. I use a utility called PC Cleaner to do it regularly.

Well, I actually ran Ccleaner and it didn't clean it out. I had to do it manually. I have no idea why this happened.

I'm sure they were. Are they not checked by default upon installation? I'm sure I didn't uncheck them.

I thought they were checked by default, but you never know. Doesn't hurt to check and make sure.

Advanced section - by default CCleaner doesn't delete temps newer than 48 hours. Change that.
