Deleting contents of the "Searches" folder.

Win7 ult


There is a folder....

"C:\Users\Peter\Downloads\Searches"

that is now rather full of outdated stuff. Can I safely delete the
contents of this?

Is it possible to switch off this collecting of searchers?

I do not use the Windows search application. Instead, I use one of the
following, depending on what I want to search:

Agent Ransack from http://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/ for
searching for character strings within files

Everything Search Engine from http://www.voidtools.com/ for searching
for folders or files by name

Search For Files from
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/search_my_files.html, which is new to me
and not yet used

Pharmaceutical companies claim their drug prices are
so high because they have to recover the costs of developing
those drugs. Two questions:

1. Why is the U.S. paying the entire cost of development while
prices for the same drugs in other nations are much lower?

2. Manufacturers of generic drugs did not have those
development costs. Why are they charging so much for generics?

Follow standard practice.
1. Create a new folder D:/Discards/Downloads/Searches
2. Move to that folder any outdated stuff you plan to delete.
3. Forget it for a while. If your system requires any of these
files, it will prompt you "file not found" and you can put it
back where it belongs. More probably, when nothing
happens, you can delete all as convenient.
