This is a good one.

Temporary Internet Files are created so you can click the 'back' and 'forward' arrows in your web browser to recall web pages. However, once you exit the web browser the files are useless. They can build and build until your have a huge amount of useless files.

I have seen the 'Temporary Internet Files' folder holding 60 or more megabytes of dead files.

We should empty this folder each time we exit our web browser (Internet Explorer). To do this open Internet Explorer, click the 'Tools' drop down menu, click 'Internet Options', click the 'Advanced' tab, scroll almost to the bottom of the list of items and find the statement 'Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed'. Place a check mark in the box in front of this statement.

You're done!
