Speed up your PC
For years I have advised people to keep their Windows temporary files cleaned up as a way to improve PC performance. Bill Pytlovany (author of WinPatrol) agrees and even says that cleaning the temporary Internet file folder is the “#1 tweak to improve Windows performance”. According to Pytlovany:
Providing support for my WinPatrol program I run into a wide range of symptoms reported by our users. Some problems don’t always make sense yet a surprising number are resolved by just cleaning up the Windows Temporary Internet Folder. I haven’t read much from Microsoft about cluttered Temp Folders but my years of experience tell me if this file gets too large all kind of seemingly unrated problems can result. You might be saying “I don’t use Internet Explorer so why do I care about it’s Temp Internet Folder” option. Trust me, if you’re using Windows XP, Vista or even Windows 7, you care.
You can read how to keep things clean at my education site. You can also get instructions on cleaning the temporary Internet files at Pytlovany’s blog.
