should be fine. For piece of mind rename the temp directory and create a new temp directory, then use it for a few days. If you have any problems you can just revert back to how it was!

Aye, to back up Neeee*10^12*k

;)

you should be fine.. if the system is using any of those files it'll usually stop you...

Thanks people :thumbsup:

I do this 2 or 3 times a week (as well as all Inet caches, cookies, swap file etc)!

Perfectly safely (with the exception of the swap file which is a little more "involved").

With the swap/page file you might want to consider grabbing this little utility..

You can only use it on certain Operating systems (so read the manual folks)... but it's a useful one..
