Yeah, I tried turning different programs on and off and still don't have a clue. I give up. For all I know it could be my anti-spyware or media player or any of dozens of other programs.. I'll quit worrying about it as long as everything works. Thanks.

I can't figure out which program or programs are constantly creating more IE files. I guess it shouldn't bother me but I can't stop wondering what it could be. I use Bing Desktop to change my wallpaper nearly every day. I have that and a couple of Gadgets, and not many optional Windows programs, like Windows Defender running. I just don't know why anything like that would make so many files over and over again all day, every day. I got rid of the free Windows Office programs I wasn't using, like PowerPoint Viewer, awhile ago, so it's not those. I'll check Windows Features again and see if I can figure out anything.

I'm having the same problem with Internet Explorer on Windows 7. I don't use IE at all so I uninstalled all updates for it and rolled it back from IE11 to IE8. Then I went to Control Panel>Programs>Programs And Features, and clicked on Turn Windows Features On Or Off. I turned Internet Explorer 8 off and it no longer shows up anywhere on the Start>All Programs menu. As far as anyone can tell (without looking at Turn Windows Features On Or Off) I don't even have Internet Explorer on my computer. But whenever I run CCleaner, which is several times a day, there are always Internet Explorer files being deleted. The last time today there were 18 IE files. They all showed up after using the latest version of Firefox.
