The original question didnt consert the OS, or where the user was at. Concerning cleaning the IE directory I would assume that he's installed PHP and IIS / Apache on his local machine.
Using a webpage online on the internet to fix your local machine doesnt sound logical to me, therefore I assume local innstallation on local machine. And when your on your local machine there are no problems accessing your files, even if they belong to the windows environment. Overwriting them can be problematic at times, since processed may use the file.
