Every time I run Disk clean-up, Web Client/Publisher Temporary Files is
populated. What application uses these files? (IE6?)
And is there a way to turn them off?
I imagine it's made up of viewed web pages, not good if it's my online
banking.
Thanks for the info,
Treeman

Re: Web Client/Publisher Temporary Files?

Nothing to worry about really... but you can stop them very easily.

Click the Start button and select Run, type *services.msc* and press
Enter
then Find the WebClient entry and double click on it, change the
startup type to disabled... and then finally click OK and close services
control panel and reboot.

Have a look here, you'll find Web Client almost near the bottom
