Hello all!

How would I be able to use a button to clean out the "Temp, Temp Internet, and Recent" folders in XP? Click it, and it erases contents automatic?? :huh

by use of File.Delete() and delete the files?
recent files is stored in the registry.. so you'd need to use Registry.DeleteKey()

i posted a dll on the forums somewhere that can add and remove files from the recent files list, temp folders are in common locations so shell.getfolder will do.

but it still cannot delete locked file(s) with that project :huh ;)

Well, don't, because there may be Applications that need those files.
Try to check if the file is in use first, use: File.IsInUse(filename) (returns true if it's in use)
and by that you can skip those files.

It's just not wise to delete temp files that are in use,
it could stall other applications wich may be important. :)
