Ärende: Disk CleanUP
====================

ML>ML>>IE is the only browser that cleanup will clean the
ML>ML>>cache for... i'll also point out that both IE and
ML>ML>>cleanup will only clean up what is listed in the
ML>ML>>cache's index.dat file... IE has a bad problem with
ML>ML>>removing files from the index.dat and leaving them
ML>ML>>behind on the drive and loosing them in this
ML>ML>>fashion... i've shown this to folk many times by
ML>ML>>cleaning the cache from within IE and via cleanup
ML>ML>>and then using a DOS tool like LIST.COM to go into
ML>ML>>those directories that make up the cache and
ML>ML>>showing them the hundreds or thousands of files left
ML>ML>>behind... it is for this reason that i sometimes
ML>ML>>implement a cleanup routine that runs in
ML>ML>>autoexec.bat... the routine is basically a deltree
ML>ML>>of the cache directory which IE or windows recreates
ML>ML>>upon loading... it can't be done while win9x is
ML>ML>>operating, though...

ML> JE> Wouldn't it be simpler to use some program other than IE?

ML>well, considering that the above is discussing the cleanup program and the
ML>cleaning of IE's cache, one might think so... however, it is not that easy,
ML>these days... in the past, before AOL got mozilla and it got the database
cache
ML>that it now touts, one could easily clean up moz's and netscape's cache by
ML>deleting the files with in just like must be done with lost/leftover files
in
ML>IE's cache... one problem is that most folk do not realize that the cleanup
ML>button doesn't clean "non-native" M$ stuff... it'll clean IE's cache but not
ML>moz's... it'll clean the recycle bin but not the norton one... it'll clean
up
ML>the temp downloaded files in IE but not similar stuff for moz...

ML>i've not really looked for a suitable method of cleaning up moz's stuff
before
ML>running scandisk and defrag but it is something that i should look into so
as
ML>to purge the system of those temp files before defraging them into the
ML>filespace instead of letting them fill in at the end of filespace as temp
files
ML>should be done with...

Hmmm? since I am using Netscape and Eudora I suppose I had better get
busy and figure out how to do that on my system.
