Hello Everyone! :)
Are there any Cookie Cleaners designed for your Temporary Internet Files?
I've noticed most free Cookie Cleaners, will remove them from Windows, but, not the Temporary Internet Files.
Any recomendations, instead of manually deleting each one?
Thank you! :)

I manually delete mine and it is pretty easy. If you are using a older version of Internet Explorer (like 4.0), or maybe even Windows itself, you may get a very annoying prompt saying "this file is a cookie, are you sure you want to delete it?", for every cookie you try to delete, if you have 100 of them it is obviously going to be very tedious.
I used to have this problem, but I think it was due to IE 4.0, I am using 5.5 now. I just get one prompt and it deletes them all. I just drag down the window with my cursor and select them all. No big deal for me as I don't clean them often - just occasionally to rub out my passwords for sites like this one, Tom's Hardware, etc.... and to prevent things from cluttering up if I have been visiting alot of medieval sword sites and what not. I may do it as often as I defragment my harddrive, clear my TEMP folder, or any other computer maintenance.
Cookies are found 2 folders for Windows 98, those being the windows\cookies\ directory, and the Temporary Internet Files are you pointed out.
Why are you so obsessed with removing cookies.... do you visit alot of porn sites and don't want certain people to know about it?

Thank you Clarentavious, for your reply.
I'm using a OLD 10 Gig computer (Actually 7.43) and, I find
it works faster with the least amount junk in it.
So, this is why, I clean both folders on a daily basis.
Thank you for the tips!

Perhaps you should consider more ram. If you have enough I think you can also do something with the swat file and that should speed up your computer as well. There are a few more things you can do such as unload the systems tray. Clarentavious and Stryder can help you out on all the complicated stuff, I'm sure.
-Good luck

I usually use a .BAT file that I created for such folders.
You'll have to experiment with it but it would have lines like:
C:\windows\command\deltree.exe /y c:\windows\tempor~1\
(You have to be careful that you get the trailing "\" or you'll end up deleting the folder, rather than the contents)
I'll add more information later (Possibly a sample file)
