Anyone had this before

Clean your temp folder. Looks like you may just have a Bug in there.
It wont be noticed by the scanners. Maybe MRUBLASTER will clean it.

 

hi cleanup - yes that's one of the things i did -so far no futher problems - cheers.

 

while on the subject of temp folders - in mine there is a cookies folder, a history folder and a temporary internet folder (all approx 16k) - the question is what are they doing in there? these folders should be elsewhere shouldn't they?

 

a search on temporary internet files yielded four folders....

c:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings - contains Content.IE5 folder

c:\Documents and Settings\Bill Bailey\Local Settings - contains text entries of cookies, favicons and temp internet files

c:\WINDOWS\Temp - contains Content.IE5 folder

c:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings - Content.IE5 folder


just how many temporary internet folders do i need

also i'm on IE6 which came pre-installed - so why do the folders refer to IE5?

and i've deleted temp internet files in IE on numerous occasions and no longer use it - so there should be nothing there?

 

thanks for the recommendation BC - ccleaner is a nifty little tool - i like the preview features so you can see and control exactly what you want to delete.
