Hi,
Deleting the Temporary Internet Files is harmless and it is a good practice
to clear them occasionally- perhaps every day or two. It is generally
recommended that the TIF folder be kept below about 50-100 MB. On a slow
internet connection (dial-up) the files stored in the TIF folder can reduce
download/display times for frequently visited pages.
Cookies are necessary at some sites and are essentially harmless. Some users
don't like tracking cookies and delete them or block them, using IE's
privacy options or a third-party program.

History: 20 days is a good compromise. Attempts to keep history for too long
(200-300 days) can increase the probability of corruption in the History
folder.
Hope this helps,
Don

I have searched and looked for cookies on the MS forum but, although
were plenty, I couldn't find exactly what I wanted to know.help.
I have to be careful in what I do as I cannot get any local Computer
I need to know what is the difference and consequence of, in the InternetDeleting
Properties box at Temporary Internet Files, Deleting cookies and
Files.
I have my History set to clear every 20 days. Should this be more or less
than 20?
