Temporary Internet Files
Have you ever noticed whenever you visit a website that is may take a while to load the first time, but when you go there a second time it loads much quicker? This is due to your computer saving those internet files to your local machine, this is a process called caching a website.
It can be very handy if you regularly visit website with large files such as Youtube, it saves both time and your download amount.
So every time you visit a website (works in Internet Explorer), all files downloaded with each web page (including html, images, Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript scripts) are saved to the Temporary Internet Files folder, created a cache of the web page on the local computer's hard disk. The next time the user visits the cached website, only changed content needs to be downloaded from the Internet; the unchanged data is available in the cache.
The cache is usually located at %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files (where %USERPROFILE% is an environment variable pointing to the root directory of the logged-in user's user profile). However, the cache may be moved by changing a value in the registry.
As we have said the temporary internet files can be a very handy tool, but if you browse the web half as much as we do here at the PC Help Guide you will build up a massive list of temporary files which can slow down your PC quite dramatically.
Internet Explorer has a tool where you can delete all of your temporary internet files. In your IE browser go to tools then internet options, here a box will popup call internet options. Go to the general tab and you will see a list of options, here go to browsing history and press delete. This will delete all temporary files, history, cookies, saved passwords and other web information.
Good luck with deleting your temporary files, but remember if you want to delete all of them you still must run a registry repair tool. Click the link below to delete all temp files and make your PC run super fast.
