With the porn rule that most companies have, you might want to explain to the masses where the copies of the picture they just downloaded gets stored on the drive(s) of their hard disk(usually to be brought up at a later date with the manager of HR...:-)) Lately, I have seen some really good people fall prey to HR porn rulings, and get fired for some picture(not hard porn), that they never thought would still be on their hard disk, after they said they deleted it, and cleared their recycle bin. I would like to pass this information to the people who work for me, as I need them for the technical job they were hired for, and not to fall prey to the HR asses. Most companies use Novell.
Thanks,

Add the lines below to your autoexec.bat file and save it, everytime you reboot all cookies, history, temporary internet files, and leftover install files in the Windows temp folder will be deleted.
The cookies, history, and temporary internet folders will be rebuilt by Windows automatically during the boot process as they are system folders required for Windows to operate, the temp folder will be rebuilt by the autoexec.bat file.
By clearing these files at every boot the Windows Explorer shell will be much more stable and Internet Exploder will be faster and more stable as well.
Anytime the I.E. cache <.dat file>grows beyond 512 kb it slows down your OS and causes BSOD's.
It can also reduce disk fragmentation a great deal if you move the folders mentioned to the outer edge of your hard disk using a utility like Norton speed disk.
To avoid slower boot times make sure you configure I.E. to dispose of temporary internet files when you close the browser, otherwise it can take awhile to clear the files at start up.
