Brunetto, my comments referred to the use of CCleaner. You simply deleting.
the temporary internet files would not remove cookies - this is a seperate
issue. However, CCleaner clean out temporary internet files, cookies, and
history by default so using CCleaner you 'would' loose all cookies, unless
you directed CCleaner to keep them.

In his answer to my question regarding the deleting of temporary internet
files, John Barnett MVP cautions that one should be aware that if you use
online banking facilities any online banking cookies are likely to be
deleted during the clean up process. I use an online banking service and I
have deleted the temporary internet files, en masse, at times. I didn't
notice any problems but was I just lucky or what?
Thank You

You can limit the amount of space taken up by temporary internet files.
Once
that space limit has been filled older temporary internet files will be
removed to allow more space.
Personally i remove temporary internet files every day. Now there is an
option in Internet Options to clear temporary internet files on browser
close down. Currently this doesn't work, so is not much use to anyone.
As Rick says you can delete them using the delete files button in
Internet
Options. However, i prefer to use a freeware application called CCleaner
(www.ccleaner.com). This not only clear temporary internet files, but
also
history, website you've visited recently (mru's), recycle bin, cookies
and a
host of other files including the index.dat files which store information
even after you have deleted the original files. You can clean the system
manually or do as i do set it to clean on login.
You should be aware that if you use online banking facilities any online
banking cookies are likely to be deleted during the clean up process. To
prevent this happenning you just need to tell CCleaner what cookies to
keep.
This can be done from the Options>Cookies menu.

hello,
how important are the temporary internet files?
I understand that they can eventually take up too much space causing
slower
performance.
Can they be deleted?
If so, how often?
Thank You
