Also check how big the index file in this folder is, this file increases in size but never seems to shrink, the only way to remove it is to delete it from the dos prompt.	Guest (0)

Anyway your question: The temp internet files need to be deleted in Dos: ie restart computer in Dos mode type del c:\windows\tempor~1\content.ie5\index.dat This assumes you have IE5 Good luck	Guest (0)
