Deb Norris via Kelvin Shields READ - BOOKMARK - DO IT - SHARE..... HOW TO ERASE THE FILES ASAP Step by step information on how to erase these files as soon as possible. This section is recommended for the non-savvy. Further explanation can be found in Section 4.0. Please note that following these next steps will erase all your cache files and cookies files. If you use the offline content feature with MSIE, it will remove this as well. It will not erase your bookmarks. 3.1. IF YOU OWN A COPY OF MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER 1) Shut your computer down, and turn it back on. 2) While your computer is booting keep pressing the [F8] key until you are given an option screen. 3) Choose “Command Prompt Only” This will take you to real DOS mode. ME users must use a bootdisk to get into real DOS mode. 4) When your computer is done booting, you will have a C:> followed by a blinking cursor. Type in this hitting enter after each line (sans parenthesis): C:WINDOWSSMARTDRV (Loads smartdrive to speed things up.) CD DELTREE/Y TEMP (this line removes temporary files.) CD WINDOWS DELTREE/Y COOKIES (This line removes cookies.) DELTREE/Y TEMP (This removes temporary files.) DELTREE/Y HISTORY (This line removes your browsing history.) DELTREE/Y TEMPOR~1 (If this last line doesn’t work then type this:) CDWINDOWSAPPLIC~1 DELTREE/Y TEMPOR~1 (If this doesn’t work then type this:) CDWINDOWSLOCALS~1 DELTREE/Y TEMPOR~1 (If this still does not work, and you are sure you are using MSIE5.x, then please e-mail me. Finding the location of these may be difficult and I’d certainly like to know where else MSIE likes to hide its cache. I believe older versions of MSIE keep them under “windowscontent”.) This last one will take a ridiculous amount of time to process. The reason it takes so incredibly long is because there is a ton of semi-useless cache stored on your HD.
