Guest spikeychris Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I see you posted this in the groups.Its what 2K does, it hoards big time. Bin 'em and all will be fine. If your a bit concerned check the dates on each and lose those over a week old.If you want to get to the file a bit faster then type this %temp% into run.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spikeychris Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 For future >>Open wordpad and type this echo y | del "%temp%\" Save it as del.dat or whatever you want.datDouble click it and all the C:\Documents and Settings\(your name)\Local Settings\Temp files will be sorted.ChrisOf course you could drop this into the start menu again but its best to keep an eye on whats in the "%temp% folder as some badly written progs store info there for a re-boot.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Glad you pointed that out spikeychris. It's never a good idea to have your temp directory automatically cleaned out on a reboot.Mr. M.PS, I think you mean a .bat file, not a .dat file :unsure: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spikeychris Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 Bat file indeed Mr M. :rolleyes: Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest moon Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 My basic maintenace includes typing *.tmp into 'Find' and deleting whatever turns up. I use G-Lock Temp Cleaner regularly though. Excellent and free.http://www.glocksoft.com/temp_cleaner/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
