| This tip came from PC World. The Windows/Temp folder is supposed to be emptied out every time you close down Windows but perfect as Windows 98 is every once in a long while it freezes up or, heaven forbid, the operator shuts the machine down by hitting the power switch. This results in files being left in the Windows/Temp folder. You don’t want to go into the folder and delete the files because one or more of the files in the folder may be needed for an application currently running in Windows. If one went straight to the Windows/Temp folder when your first boot up the machine your odds would be better but still not perfect. HOWEVER if you put a command in the autoexec.bat file the Windows/Temp folder could be emptied out before Windows even loads up. SO using sysedit go to your Autoexec.bat file and add the following lines. deltree/y c:\windows\temp md c:\windows\temp It works and you’ll now have a clean Windows/Temp folder. |
