i just deleted 19,100 temp internet files

I'm allways tinkering with new software and end up on about a one month rotation.  Either I've screwed the registry beyond repair, or gave Linux another try and now Have 4 or 5 partions and a screwed boot sector.  I've had this install for a month plus and I think it's a new record for me.  Although I'm itchin' to redo it first weekend I have a chance.  Also I do that trick I posted about empty TIF when browser exits and almost never empty it anymore except for cookies.
