    Hi all, whilst doing a spyware scan i noticed i had alot of temporary internet files for what i presume is Internet Explorer 5 (C:\documents and settings\fraser\local settings\temporary internet files\content.IE5\...) Windows update has automatically updated my browser to IE7 so do i still need these temporary files? As i thought it may be pointless having them filling up space if they are useless?
    Thanks for the help all.

    That's not referring to IE5 but instead it's a folder named Content.ie5 that's used by the TIF cache. You can't do much with it. If you want to dump your TIF's just right click the IE icon on your Desktop and select properties. You'll see the delete button there.
