Sorry this is just a test of getting through to the google group here. Very sorry for the inconvenvenience... - Original Message - From: Stu [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 9:17 AM Subject: [JAWS-Users] temp files I use the following on my 98 machine, will it work also on a XP machine? Can I delete tmp files? I've given this hint before and it's one of the really useful ones that I've picked up over the years. Open the Find Files utility and search for: *.tmp,*.chk,~*.* Note that the items are separated by a comma and no spaces. Also, note that the last item is preceded by a tilde and if you omit this, you'll get hits on every file in your computer, which you most definitely do _not_ want to do. Run this search and when it completes, press Control+A to select all, then the delete key and answer Y to the prompt asking if it's okay to delete everything. Then comes the really good part. Press Alt+F while still in the Find Files utility and save the search to your Desktop. From now on, you can run it regularly to clean up your disk. I've used this for a couple of years with no problems. The second thing I would advise is to download and run ad-aware and get rid of all of that spy crap in your computer.

[JAWS-Users] Re: temp files
I did this and there were two files I couldn't delete. One is ~nsu.temp. Jaws said can't read file, unable to delete, and the other when I pressed delete, jaws was silent. I wasn't able to copy and paste them either. Am I in serious trouble?

I've posted it up on the tips and tricks page with the notation that it is unclear of it's value in XP. Personally I like to use a program like CCleaner on boot up to start out fresh every time.

Rick I believe the last time I ran a disk cleanup on Win XP it gave one many check boxes that could be check or uncheck depending on one's preference. It's funny you mention the cookies thing. Other people will say just the opposite they will delete all of them every few times they boot up.

[JAWS-Users] Re: temp files
Al - This is/was Walt, not Rick. Most spyware and adware programs remove _dangerous_ cookies, but not _all_ cookies. Many cookies store preferences and other site-specific information that would have to be reset if all cookies were deleted. The spyware and adware programs know which ones to delete by name, but these other general cleanup programs aren't that intelligent. Just for example, the information about my Google.com preferences (how many hits to display, etc.) is stored in a cookie and it would be stupid to delete it and then have to re-enter the information every time I visit Google. You'll hear that all cookies should be removed weekly or whatever, but this is just the kind of misinformation that gets started and then, can't be stopped. - Original Message - From: Alan Terrie Robbins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 6:32 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: temp files Rick I believe the last time I ran a disk cleanup on Win XP it gave one many check boxes that could be check or uncheck depending on one's preference.
