Ok, this is the deal...I did the disk cleaner several times and it still wont delete the 40,764KB. I would be very happy if I only had 32KB but that is not my case. Can you please help me fix this problem cause it is using way too much space.

[Old Rich]

Have you tried deleting it in Safe Mode? . .

[sonnier]

explain....can u walk me through it.? Not sure what to do and why its doing it

[Old Rich]

Restart the PC . . as soon as it starts to load, tap F8 repeatedly, about twice a second and you will get a menu that includes starting in safe mode . . it may take longer than regular mode so be patient. . once it has booted in safe mode, try deleting the file

I did that and when i clicked on clean disk the web client/publisher temp file was not up there. I cleaned it anyway but nothing helped. Please I still need help.

[sonnier]

I DID IT!!!!!!!! TO ALL WHO WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DELETE WEB CLIENTHERE YOU GO.....
SAFE MODE WITH COMMAND
ADMINISTRATOR WHEN IT COMES UP ..AT PROMPT TYPE THIS...cd\
next thing you type is...del index.dat /s (please note the spaces)
after it does what needs to,at next prompt type....shutdown -r(dont forget space before -r) thats it!!!

Please dont forget your spaces, very important. I now have 32KB instead of 40,764Kb..................I can live with 32KB anyday

Well done . .

[maniac_lonestar]

I have been following this thread for a while and it seems to work. But now, after installing sp3 somehow I have problem restarting winxp afterwards, it kind of stalled, and I have to reboot into safemode w/ last good config.
