HAH! My favourite problem!

BW et al,

There's a very easy way to delete all your temp files. Go to Start\Run and type the following:

deltree /y cwindows\temp

(that's assuming your windows folder is on your C: drive). Press ok, and wait until it says 'Finished' in the title bar of the little blue window that comes up. Saves a h*ll of a lot of trouble!

Also, if anyone's running out of space in Win 95/98/ME and you have a second hard drive, right-click on 'My Computer' on the desktop, select Properties and go to the Performance tab. Click on 'Virtual Memory' and select 'Let me specify my own virtual memory settings'. Change the drive from C: to D: (or whatever other HDD or partition you have), select the minimum as 0 and the max at about 300 (or leave it to your own judgement). Click apply, then 'Yes' on the warning that comes up, then click 'Close' and restart. Should speed the system up a bit.
