Milly's WinClean Description

Because each 'logged on' user profile gets their own Temporary Internet Files ("TIF") and associated stuff, Windows does its best to limit access to 'proper' means, by 'locking' those files soon after startup. You can clear the TIF cache (and the History and Cookies) from within IE (using the menu Tools/Internet Options/General), and that is the easiest way for most people in most circumstances. But that way won't delete the the Index.dat files, which will contain functionally redundant, but potentially revealing, remnants of prior browsing. Depending on who has (or might gain) local or remote-controlled access to your PC, that may or may not have privacy implications for you. Moreover, the Index.dat files simply grow and grow forever - starting off at about 32kb, but potentially growing to many MBs. For some, that wasted space may be an issue. Nor will that way delete 'orphaned' files, which were downloaded to the cache but have been lost by the indexing system (because the system is broken, and always has been (at least, maybe, until IE7/8/Vista)). Again, for some, the mere existence of such files may be a privacy issue, and may be a disk space issue. The Milly's WinClean application was designed to help you delete (though not secure wiping) the TIF - and any other stuff you wish, too (especially, but not limited to, files 'locked' by Windows during normal use). An easy way to delete any or all of : - IE Temporary Internet Files - IE History - Cookies folder - Temporary Files folder - Recent Documents MRU list
