My old computer - which I am forced to use right now - is, I think, corrupted.
IE became impossible to use some time ago - and, when I tried to reinstall it, reinstallation was impossible. I deleted it to save space.
However, I appear still to have an enormous number of "temporary" internet files - I know this because when my anti-virus scans, it spends forever going through them!
I am using Opera - and have cleared its cache.
I THINK these are old IE files?????
I have tried searching for them under temporary internet files, and Internet Explorer - but they do not show up.
Any ideas on how to get rid of the damn things? They are slowing the poor old puter down, I believe.
Of course, I could be quite wrong about what the hell they are!
Sigh.
The first question I would ask the computer is: "Did you enjoy being corrupted?" If the answer is "Yes," let the poor thing be.
Sorry, sometimes I can't help being a smartass--expecially with people I haven't had a chance to tease in a long time.
Try
Cleanup. Its job is to find and empty temporary files, and its pretty good at it.
THANK YOU!!!!
That took HOURS!!!
interesting
i should try that on my old puter
may give it to one of my neighbours if i can make it decently functional
It was fun watching it killing all those smeggers!
But - why had IE itself not killed most of them, before its demise?
So is the computer zippier today, Deb?

Mostly because one of the things Microsoft software is famous for is not bein' very good at cleanin' up after itself. There's practically an entire industry devoted to churnin' out apps designed to straighten out messes and haul away junk Windows and the like are perfectly content to overlook.
If Windows and Internet Explorer were rent-payin' room-mates, you'd prolly wanna evict 'em both on accounta sloppiness and just plain "Don't give a damn" attitude.
If it wasn't for the fact one of 'em was a great cook and bought all the food and the other had a fabulous wardrobe, all in your size, and pretty much letchya wear whatever ya wanted to.
