Temp files?-Disk cleanup misses them in Vista
Hi,
Some help here please? In disk cleanup; it says Temp files; and when I use disk cleanup, it supposedly sees them.(There's a box to check in disk cleanup that says Temp files) but it always says 0 kb. I check it anyway. I then run disk cleanup. Afterwards,when I type %temp% in search; I get Temp and temp-looks like the same folder, but nothing was deleted? Wasn't there a way in XP to designate how long files stayed in there? and why doesn't disk clean up see them? Also, have a shredder that WILL shred, but have to manually go to the folder and highlight all files. Sort of a pita, any suggestions on how to run it like a task? it's from O&O. Jeff

Alter the "LastAccess" value for cleaning the Temporary files using Disk Cleanup utility: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/cleantemp.htm (This applies to Windows Vista as well.) -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] Windows® XP Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Jeff" wrote in message ...

Jeff,
Check out www.ccleaner.com. It's an excellent free utility for cleaning up the junk. -J "Jeff" wrote: Hi, Some help here please?
