DeAnna, in my \Windows\Temp file there are lots of Folders as well as
Files. Is it safe to delete *everything* in the temp folder, including
all those sub-folders? Is there ever anything in a temp folder that is
crucial that you would *not* delete? Do you only delete anything with
*.tmp extensions?

In the directory C:\Windows\Temp you'll see a bunch of files that begin

If
there are any files in there when you first start your computer, DELETE
THEM. Don't worry, you CANNOT hurt your system by doing this. I've seen
some
computers that had literally thousands of files in the temp directory
and
had gotten so bad that the owners couldn't even boot windows, let alone
start a program.
