    Hi Lotta
    welcome to the forum!

    Do you have any idea what the files are?
    Some program you recently installed maybe?
    If not, zip and/or submit them to submit@diamondcs.com.au to see if they are innocent. I suppose they are, for a possible malicious part would have been identified too if it was there.
    If you rightclick on a file to get more information about them, which program they belong to, such things, does that give any clue about their origins?

    ANYTHING in c:\documents and settings\liz\local settings\temp is unwanted and unneeded and can and should be deleted

    That folder is supposed to be used by Windows to unpack temp files whilst installing programs and it is supposed to delete them afterwards, but many installers are badly written and don't remove the temp files.

    The other reason they are there is that several baddies use that folder to run from so as a matter of course you should regularly, at least once a week, empty that folder

    Good advice, thanks for coming to help

    They do look like installer leftovers, so dont "worry" too much that they were there :)
