Over the last couple years there\u2019s been a big market for \u201cRegistry Cleaners\u201d even though there has been little evidence having a \u201ctidy\u201d, smaller registry makes any difference. Truth is, a few simple, free tweaks can be done which can drastically improvement the speed of their computers.<\/p>\n<p>Providing support for my WinPatrol program I run into a wide range of symptoms reported by our users. Some problems don\u2019t always make sense yet a surprising number are resolved by just cleaning up the Windows Temporary Internet Folder. I haven\u2019t read much from Microsoft about cluttered Temp Folders but my years of experience tell me if this file gets too large all kind of seemingly unrated problems can result. You might be saying \u201cI don\u2019t use Internet Explorer so why do I care about it\u2019s Temp Internet Folder\u201d option.  Trust me, if you\u2019re using Windows XP, Vista or even Windows 7, you care.<\/p>\n<p>The original purpose of the Temp Internet Folder was to save time accessing web pages by storing images and other objects that don\u2019t change on your system. Just like the HOSTs file this was a good idea when we were all on slow dial-up connections but today many dial-up connections are fast enough these features are no longer relevant. Anecdotal evidence shows the Temp Internet Folder is used for more than just browsing the Internet<\/p>\n<p><a
