A recent letter to our Reader's Forum section prompted this brief article on temporary internet files. Bob's questions revolved around whether it was good or bad that Internet Explorer saved so much stuff from web sites that had been visited, and whether it was a good idea or not to regularly purge this stuff.
What are Temporary Internet Files?
It would be good to start here by reminding that when you're surfing the Internet, you don't actually go to any sites. They are downloaded or brought to you. Everything you see when travelling around the World Wide Web has been copied to your computer. Internet Explorer (and other browsers) stores all these files in what is called a "cache." It's really just a directory specifically there for Internet files. The main reason these files are kept on your hard drive even after you've viewed them is so that Internet Explorer can save you time when you next visit the exact same page. It can serve up some of the content to you from your own hard drive instead of having to download it all over again from the Internet. When you use your Back button, for example, you will almost always be given the page from your own cache rather than fresh from the Internet.
You do have some control over how much of this stuff is saved, and you are able to delete most of it quite easily at any time.
Setting the Size of Your Cache.
It's easy to reduce or increase the size of your cache. To do this:
If you don't want too much of your hard drive used, set the setting as low as possible. If you set it to one megabyte, for example, this will cause Internet Explorer to start overwriting old stuff as soon as a megabyte's worth of files have been stored.
You'll notice from the box pictured that you can also click the View Files button to see all the files that Internet Explorer has saved on your hard drive. Clicking this button will present you with a list. To view a file, right-click on it in the list and then left-click on Open.
Purging Your Cache
If setting your cache size to be as low as possible isn't sufficient, it is easy enough to delete everything in your Temporary Internet Files.
It is safe to do this. No important files will be lost; only whatever files Internet Explorer has decided to save while you've been surfing. You can also click the Delete Cookies button to delete cookies which are little files left on your hard drive by web sites to help identify you next time you visit them. It's also safe to delete your cookies. If you want to know more about what cookies are, you can visit an article from the March 2000 newsletter called Cookie Anyone? at http://editor.actrix.gen.nz/byarticle/cookies.htm.
There are various reasons why you might want to purge your cache. The most obvious is to remove any files you may not want others to see for whatever reasons you might have. Keep in mind though, that your online movements can also be tracked through your browser's History settings unless you clear those regularly too (also via your Internet Options box).
You may want to purge your cache to save space on your hard drive, though in most cases this would be hardly worth the bother. If you are short of space, you should set your cache size as low as possible (as described above) and if you've done that, then purging probably won't save you much anyway. It might pay to check the size of your cache though. By default the cache size is usually set much higher than it needs to be.
Some people like to clear their cache often in the belief that it will speed up the performance of their machine. There is some truth to this, but only in so far as your browser is concerned. A large cache could cause Internet Explorer to be a little slower closing down but it shouldn't have any effect upon other aspects of your computer not related to the Internet. Clearing your cache will not speed up the performance of Microsoft Word, for example.
3HCXXNMX, QOEXH76Z, 7AK9LREE and UI0QWZJ9
Bob also asked about four mysterious folders that he could find on his hard drive (using Windows Explorer) that had bizarre names and were all listed inside the CONTENT.IE5 folder which is itself inside the Temporary Internet Files folder. What are these folders and why do they increase after heavy Internet usage?
Basically, these four folders are just where Internet explorer stores your cache as described above. Windows creates these folders and gives them labels made up of random strings of eight digits and letters (to lesson the chances of overwriting an important folder if a user starts moving them around unwittingly). These folders would be named differently on every machine. If you use the Delete Files button to clear your cache (as described above) you should find that these folders are empty. If they're not, then you can safely delete the entire folders themselves (just the randomly named ones). Nothing vital is kept in these folders, and Internet Explorer will automatically recreate these storage folders anytime it feels it needs to.
If you want to find these folders, you can usually find them in your Windows directory. If you have Windows 98 or 2000, right-click on your Start button and then left-click on Explore. Look for your Windows or WINNT folder on the left hand side, and then for the Temporary Internet Files folder etc. These folders are a little harder to find under XP. Try C:\Documents and Settings/user name/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files...
Disc Cleaners
There are programs you can download and use that will automatically clear your history, delete your temporary internet files and cookies, remove your list of recently viewed documents etc. Window Washer (made by Webroot) is one of the more popular of these and it gets a five star review from Tucows.com. There are plenty of others. For a comprehensive list and downloads links, see http://www.tucows.com/diskc95_default.html.

Cary writes: I received an e-mail from someone at an indiatimes.com e-mail address promising me large sums of money (40% of 21 million) if I would pose as the next of kin of some important overseas businessman. The e-mail is obviously a scam. Is there something that can be done about these scams?
Hi Carey, What you have there is a classic example of the old Nigerian 419 Scam (named after the relevant section of the Criminal Code of Nigeria). This time the scammer claims to be in London, though he almost certainly isn't. Yes, this guy would eventually take you for everything he could get if you were foolish enough to trust him he might even end up killing you after inviting you overseas. These scams are extremely common and I receive several such offers most days. It is staggering how many rich people are being killed in auto-crashes and leaving their lawyers with no way to move their millions out of their country!!!
Unfortunately there is little you can do. These scammers are very good at hiding their tracks. Police in Africa, where most of these scams originate, work very hard to catch them, but there are lots doing it, and they only ever manage to track down a few. It's all just part of being Internet-savvy. You're obviously not silly enough to be fooled by it. Just shrug, delete and move on. Be glad you don't receive as many of these offers as some do.
More information can be found at sites like the following: www.snopes2.com/inboxer/scams/nigeria.htm. It explains how the scam works, how it originated, etc.
Ken writes: I have accidentally blocked an address in my inbox and don't know how to unblock it. This is listed under 'message\block sender'. Could you please tell me how to fix the problem. Many thanks.
Hi Ken. To Remove Senders from the Block Senders List:
Richard writes: I have a simple problem... Up until a few weeks ago I could download my e-mail by simply opening Outlook Express and initiating a Send/Receive. This would automatically connect me to Actrix and complete the mail operations before disconnecting. Now I must first open my connection to Actrix before attempting to access my email. Can you tell me what setting I have to change to get back to where I was?
Steve Trayhorne from the Actrix Help Desk responds: Hi Richard, From what you have described below I am guessing the Internet connection setting has been changed to "Never dial a connection." To check this, open Internet Explorer then go to Tools/Internet Options/Connections. On the Connections tab you should notice a white box showing your Actrix connection, under that box you will see 3 radio buttons. Make sure the dot is in the option labelled "Always dial my default connection." If the Actrix connection does not show Actrix (Default), also press the "Set as Default" button. Now press "Apply" and "OK".
If the above does not correct the problem give our Help Desk a call on 0800-228749 when you are at your computer, and one of our team can work with you to check some other settings.
Robert writes: Dear Editor, My wife and I have been with Actrix for just over two and a half years and you have been very helpful on a number of occasions. Our question is: is there away to transfer sent emails from Outlook Express to Windows XP so they can be copied to a CD? Our family are overseas and we would like to keep the emails elsewhere instead of taking up space on the computer. At present there are over 300 emails and they will grow in the next few years. The emails are in their own folder under sent items. I hope there is a solution?
Mike Cooper from the Actrix Help Desk responds: Hi Robert, If all the e-mails you are wishing to archive are in a particular folder in Outlook Express, then there is a pretty easy way to archive them. Outlook Express folders are saved on your hard drive and you can use the Start button/Find feature to search your computer for 'foldername.dbx'
For example, if all the messages were in an Outlook Express folder called My Messages, search for My Messages.dbx. You can then burn the entire .dbx file to a disc. It is easily imported back into Outlook Express at a later stage if required.
As an aside, e-mail isn't likely to have a huge impact on hard-drive space. The majority of e-mail messages are 10kb or less in size which works out at about 1000 standard size text only messages on a single floppy disk. I myself have got over 15,000 e-mail messages on my computer at home and am yet to fill a CD when I back them up.

to have server-based anti-Spam measures in place as soon as possible. This will also be
