After all the foregoing, just alittle aside. Somewhere I found ATF
cleaner. Choose what to clean, and it's done very fast. It's publisher's
webpage (atribune.org) appears to be off right now, but Majorgeeks still
seems to have the download. Not sophisticated, but free.

Can you start a new thread linking this utility?
I like how, when you run it under XP it says "ATF Cleaner for Windows XP"
When run under Vista it says "ATF Cleaner for Windows Vista"

TWO THUMBS UP!

But you are relying on that. If someday they are not present, poof, your
%TEMP% is gone.

That's silly!

You sir can drop it any time you want. I, sir, will do what I please. I
have no problems discussing technical issues. You seem to want to run,
duck and cover. Why is that? Why not discuss technical issues, points
and the like? What's wrong with that?
