What system version and what kind of temp files? There are many utilities to do "system cleanup", but maybe you should tell us what issue you're having.

Did you go into IE, Tools, Internet Options, and under the General tab there is a section called Browsing history. You can configure what gets deleted there, then press the delete button.

a good little app to have around is ATF, short for All Temp Files. Canned speech is below.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only
  • Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
    Under Main choose: Select All
    Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Firefox browser
  • Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
    Click the Empty Selected button.
    NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browser
  • Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
    Click the Empty Selected button.
    NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

I use it on all my machines at the house, and some of the rigs here at work that are throwing multi-gig pdf and .doc files back and forth. Works great, small footprint, the only downside I've found is that it nukes your prefetch folder, thus delaying bootup by about 20 seconds or so.

thanks,

v

There is this really cool built in feature in Windows. Its called disk cleanup. You access disk cleanup by going to programs/accessories/system tools/disk cleanup. Check all the boxes and it will cleanup the temp files and more.
