Internet Explorer 7 vs CCleaner?

[Tom AZ]

Generally, when I run CCleaner, a pretty good chunk of the junk it finds is "Internet Explorer -- Temporary Internet Files." Except on rare occasions, I don't even use Internet Explorer -- I use Firefox almost exclusively.

 

So, what's all of this stuff that continually needs cleaning from Internet Explorer??

[Nergal]

some things Microsoft includes the ie cache:

 

Microsoft word

Outlook (though if you use FF I doubt you use Outlook)

Windows Media Player

 

 

there may be more post a log (right click temporary internet files, choose analyze, right click the results and save the log, then post it here)

 

 

 

e.g.

 

ANALYSIS COMPLETE - (0.118 secs)

1.19 MB to be removed. (Approximate size)
