No it doesn't! You temporary internet files are typically web pages, audio files, images, applets, and other files that your browser downloaded as you surfed. I periodically clear out my temporary internet files and it does not touch my Favorites!

No, deleting your temp internet files won't affect your favorites. The temp internet files are just that, temp files stored from previous sites. You should delete your temp internet files in one of two ways. Either go into your IE properties and on the General tab you have an option to delete files, that brings up a pop up box where you should also select to delete offline content. The other way is to go into your windows explorer and depending on what OS you are running, search for a temorary internet folder (possibly under windows or profiles folder) and then a subfolder contents. There should be subfolders under that and you can delete the temp files there also.

Hi
No. Use these ways to delet them:

Hi

1- use notepad to create deltemp.bat which contain these command
(where \windows in cd \windows is your windows directory)
-Make a short cut to it in the desktop.
-Use the task Scheduler to do it for you automatically by adding the deltemp.bat to the tasks in task Scheduler Schedule.

rem the START of the deltemp.bat batch file

cd windows
echo Y | deltree tempor~1
echo Y | deltree cookies
echo Y | deltree history
exit
rem the END of deltemp.bat batch file

2- use the clean utility C:\WINDOWS\CLEANMGR.EXE
(where \windows in is your windows directory)

Good luck

May I ask a follow-up question? (Please pardon the intrusion if this is not permitted here!!!)

I've never deleted my temp internet files because I assumed that this would slow down the next viewing of the pages I visit often. Is this true? I also syncronize some pages, will they be affected?
