Anything that isn't currently in use. Temporary files is what it is for. Jack B wrote: > Can everything in C:\Windows\Temp be deleted? > > Jack > > >> Stay informed about: Can all in C:WindowsTemp be deleted?

Sure. I do it once in a while (when I'm logged on as admin or power user). "Jack B" wrote in message > Can everything in C:\Windows\Temp be deleted? > > Jack > >> Stay informed about: Can all in C:WindowsTemp be deleted?

After a reboot, yes. Windows will not allow you to delete anything needed during the current boot, however. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Jack B wrote: > Can everything in C:\Windows\Temp be deleted? >> Stay informed about: Can all in C:WindowsTemp be deleted?

Yes, except any files currently in use which can easily be indentified as they will have a "Date Modified" date/time stamp with today's date. Sort the files by Date Modified, select all those older than today's date and delete. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "Jack B" wrote in message > Can everything in C:\Windows\Temp be deleted? > > Jack > > >> Stay informed about: Can all in C:WindowsTemp be deleted?
