Under MY DOCUMENT/LOCAL SETTINGS/TEMP I have all sorts of folders with tmp
after them. Some are IXP00 and others the same with tmp again.
after them. Some are IXP00 and others the same with tmp again.
The file is usually FILE APPLICATION - TEXT DOCUMENT or something like
that...
is it ok to delete them including the folders or should I just stick to
getting rid of temporary internet files?
i hate temp files and persue them to the ends of the earth to delete them
but in XP, everything seems a wee bit different than ME or 98.
thanks

The temp folder in XP works exactly the same as in previouse windows
versions, although its in a different place now. It is usually safe to
delete all the files in the folder, although often windows wont let you
delete a couple because they are in use.

Just looked at mine. Temp setup files for all the things I installed in
the last couple days. Nothing in \Windows\Temp like in ME or 98. These are
your user temp files. Just deleted all except the 2 that said "in use", as
mentioned by our friend, Ian. These are deleted by Disk Cleanup if they are
old enough.
This explains why the Ramdisk I installed for temp directory was always
empty---I moved the wrong folder there :-(
