I DO NOT USE ANY SOFTWARE ON THIS PAGE (except those in the My Favorite Freeware box). These pages are for freeware suggestions site visitors have made for which I, personally, have no need and no interest. I can’t (and don’t) vouch for anything here. | ||
| If you don’t find what you need here, I recommend Pricelessware, a very sound, clean freeware site based on recommendations of alt.comp.freeware participants. | ||

Empty Temp Folders Added 12/26/02 |
For Win2K; various users report it works on all other Windows versions, though with possible issues on NT 4. “I was amazed at how this program solved my severe lag problem from running internet radios. I had no idea that I had 20 temp directories that the program found easily. You can also clear the clipboard and browser history, cookies, and URLs. There’s even an automatic cleaner program that can be configured to do everything from Empty Temp Folders at set intervals you choose. I was thinking about a clean install until I got this program. A must have. A++” By Finn Ekberg Christiansen. (Recommended by James “Vortech” Bellisle) |
