Everytime I try to delete my temporary internet files, my computer freezes up. Anyone know why and how to fix it? Please? Thanks! :)

I think I'll let you sweat this one out. :p













the truth is, I don't know. I wish I could help you. There's no reason it should freeze while you're doing that.

To break down MM's instructions: from win explorer, go to

MY COMPUTER

then Local Disk C

then Documents and Settings

find your username

then "Local Settings"

then "temporary internet files"

newwiccan

Yes. There is nothing that says local settings.
mightyman
