Go into my computer and enter on the C: drive. hit w for windows and enter. Hit
t until you get to the TMP and Temp folder. Went you enter on either folder
temp or temp you can highlight all the files in the list view and delete
everything there. If you have a index.dat file highlight everything except that
file. For the only way you can delete the index.dat file is to set up another
admin user delete it in XP or go to dos in 98c and delete the index.dat
file from there by using the command deltree at the C:\windows prompt. The
command is in 98C is deltree cookies, Deltree tmp, Deltree tempor~1, and
deltree history.

internet files but just temp files. I am just wondering what I should do with
them? I was thinking of deleting them since a lot of them seem to be log files
and things of that sort but I really don't want tos crew anything up since I
really wouldn't know what I was doing. Please if you could ancer this question
that would be grate. from Mich Verrier.

Lisa,
I don't advise deleting the Windows temp files, but they are mainly
located in the, c:\windows\system32 folder. Plus there may be others scattered
around in various applications. But again, unless you know what you are
deleting, I don't advise it.
The Internet temp files are located in, c:\documents and settings\(your
profile name)\local settings\temporary Internet files. This is where your temp
files and cookies are stored. Most of these files provide faster loading of
visited web pages. I don't see that it affects the performance of your PC by
removing them.

Hi Denny,
Will deleting the windows temp files, and the Internet temp files improve
the performance of my PC? Should they be deleted, and if so, how would I do
that? Thank you for taking the time to answer all of my questions. I really
do appreciate it!
Take care,
Lisa

Lisa,
Sorry it has taken me a couple of days to get back to you.
The, %temp% command will delete the temp files in the root directory.
It doesn't remove the Windows temp files or the Internet temp files.
As for the cookies, that is up to you whether you want to delete them
or not. Deleting them won't do anything to enhance the performance of your PC.

Hi Denny,
Thank you for these other computer maintenance tasks. I will make them
a regular part of my monthly computer maintenance routine. Is cleaning out the
temp files the same as deleting temporary Internet files? If it is not, how
would I do that? Also I would like to know about cookies, what are they,
should they be deleted, and if so how often should I delete them? I hope that
I haven't asked too many questions here, but I would like to keep my computer
running smoothly. Thanks again!
Take care,
Lisa

Lisa,
You can perform 3 of the tasks mentioned.
1. Check Disk
Go to run and type in,
chkdsk /f (drive letter): and press enter. Note the colon after the
drive letter. Unlike running a check disk on your C drive, you won't need to
reboot for this to perform.
2. Scan Disk
Per form the scan disk just as you would on the C drive, but of
course highlighting the drive you want to scan as opposed to the C drive. Then
just follow the instructions as you would for the C drive. Again, you won't
have to reboot for this to run.
3. Defrag
Perform as you would for the C drive but again, highlight the drive
you want to defrag.
One more step that I didn't include in those instructions is cleaning
up the temp files.
This should be performed on the C drive.
Close all applications with the exception of Jaws.
Go to run and type in: %temp% and press enter. Note the percent sign
before and after temp.
Press enter. This will bring up a list of temp files that you can
delete.
Do a control A to select all.
Now do a shift delete and say yes to, are you sure you want to delete
these items?
If it fails to delete some items, make sure all of your applications
are closed and try again.
When finished, do an alt f4 to close.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Question about computer maintenance
Hello everyone,
This question is for Denny, or anyone else that can answer it for me.
First off I just want to say thank you to Denny for posting the computer
maintenance page on the jaws users web site! I had no problem following all of
the directions, and I performed all of the maintenance on my computer. My
question is, should I perform any of the maintenance tasks on my external
harddrive? I thought that maybe I should follow the same directions for a
defrag only on my external harddrive. Any help with this would be greatly
appreciated! I am running jaws 6, and I have windows XP home addition.
Take care,
Lisa
