Talking A little help please?

I've already disabled the SYSTEM RESTORE on Win ME.....
(for reason of course)......but is there any way to flush(if you
will) or delete the RESTORE/TEMP folder or preferably its
contents?

According to MS, disabling restore in ME destroys all the previous restore points. Read the CAUTION here

LOL I know what you mean. Four months ago, my ME only had 800mb left in its 20GB HD. The SysRestore folder had 16GB in it! My bro handled it so I don't know how to fix this.

Well ya.. with system restore disabled.... simply delete the folder entirely. When you re-enable system restore.... it will recreate it.

Somebody screwed with the settings then. By default, system restore only uses 10% of the drive... in that case, 2GB.

Talking OK

Thanks......I had a virus that one of the kids d/l and apparently
installed the program.We found the one in windows but then
had one in the SYS/RESTORE folder.
It appears to be gone now.

Thank again
