I did this and there were two files I couldn't delete. One is ~nsu.temp. Jaws said can't read file, unable to delete, and the other when I pressed delete, jaws was silent. I wasn't able to copy and paste them either. Am I in serious trouble?

Can I delete tmp files? I've given this hint before and it's one of the really useful ones that I've picked up over the years. Open the Find Files utility and search for: *.tmp,*.chk,~*.* Note that the items are separated by a comma and no spaces. Also, note that the last item is preceded by a tilde and if you omit this, you'll get hits on every file in your computer, which you most definitely do _not_ want to do. Run this search and when it completes, press Control+A to select all, then the delete key and answer "Y" to the prompt asking if it's okay to delete everything. Then comes the really good part. Press Alt+F while still in the Find Files utility and save the search to your Desktop. From now on, you can run it regularly to clean up your disk. I've used this for a couple of years with no problems. The second thing I would advise is to download and run ad-aware and get rid of all of that spy crap in your computer.
