Re: More Details ...

Ted,

Thanks, but you have no idea what you are talking about.

For two years I have taken files from this folder weeks after visiting a
website ... especially *.wmv files from music sites. That's why I've always
had a shortcut to it on my desktop. You don't seem to understand that there
are NO new files and NO older files ... there's NO files AT ALL - just
cookies.

All files are held in this TIF folder until: 1) You manually empty them 2)
If the "user-defined" time specified is reached for deletion, or 3) When the
contents of the folder reach a designated size (it's huge too).

But thanks anyway!
