My C:\Documents and Settings\...\Local Settings\Temp\ directory is
filled with 63 megs of who knows what.  Isn't this stuff supposed to get
deleted?  Can I delete all these files (and subdirectories)?

With no applications and or installs running and after restart, you can
delete the files from the %temp% directory.

Strange thing is that underneath:

C:\Documents and Settings\Rick\Local Settings\Temp\

I have:

\Cookies
\History
\Temporary Internet Files

These three are in addition to those same-named directories where they
should be in their regular places.  Any thoughts as to how these (also?)
got placed underneath a \Temp dir?  (And can I delete 'em there?)
