Does SP2 need them?
Having searched under Temporary Internet Files - I have opened the
Windows\system32\config\ one and found within a folder entitled Content.IE5 This contains over 4300 files in 4 coded sub folders, almost all of them ending with .XML, dated last year and now compressed. At 18MB of disk space does anybody know the answer to these questions: Does SP2 need them? What purpose are they stored there for? Can these folders/files be deleted? Please don't confuse this folder with the one where Temporary Internet files & cookies are stored. Any help would be much appreciated. Ying. |

Hi
Delete them to the Recycle Bin for a few days. If you don't get any problems delete the files from the Recycle Bin. .XML files 'can' be hard to read - have you had a look at one of them to see what the contents are? -- Will Denny MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "Ying Tong" Ying wrote in message ...

TIF, Cookies, Index.dat and Content.IE5 are part and parcel of the "smoke &
mirrors" nature of Temporary Internet Files. Read: http://snipurl.com/gadi (http://snipurl.com/gadj in particular). Unless you're having problems indicating corruption, leave 'em alone and go worry about more important things like whirled peas. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE) & Security Ying Tong wrote: Having searched under Temporary Internet Files - I have opened the Windows\system32\config\ one and found within a folder entitled Content.IE5 This contains over 4300 files in 4 coded sub folders, almost all of them ending with .XML, dated last year and now compressed.
