Right-click the hard drive’s icon (which says “C:”), then click “Properties”. You see a pie chart. Click the “Disk Cleanup” button. The computer shows a list of file types. For example, Windows XP shows this list: o Downloaded Program Files o Temporary Internet Files o Offline Web Pages o Recycle Bin o Setup Log Files o Temporary files o WebClient/Publisher Temporary Files o Compress old files o Catalog files for the Content Indexer
In Windows 2000, on the Disk Cleanup screen is a button "View Files", which is available for most categories. Apparently XP is missing this button. (stupid M$)
The view files button is not available for all files in xp. Is there a direct way to access the temporary files folder?
In Explorer, go to \Documents and Settings\{your username}\Local Settings\ There you will find the Temp, Temporary Internet and History directories. You may have to change the View-options for Explorer (show hidden and system files)
Thanks realblackstuff, that worked for the temp folder. Do you know where I can view the web client/publisher folder?
In Explorer, click on Tools/Find and type in the name of any file or folder you want, indicating from where to start.
