    I put %temp% in run and opened temp files. I see many files with temp but some cannot be deleted. Is it best to not try and delete those? I also see some CDX files and text files that do not say temp. Can they be deleted?
    I'm just trying to speed up startup.

    Best left alone for the most part (it won't speed up startup anyway) but if you must get rid (occasionally temp files can become orphaned and not erased when they should) then use Old Timers Temp File Cleaner
