By default Internet Explorer will save a huge amount of Temporary Internet<br />
Files in your profile. This is a huge waste of disk space and it results in a<br />
long time to login and logout of Windows.<br />
<br />
If you want to start from scratch with a new profile see [[How To Reset Your Profile]].<br />
<br />
To keep your amount of Temporary Internet Files small:<br />
<br />
# Start Internet Explorer<br />
# Click on Tools on the menu bar<br />
# Click on Internet Options<br />
# Click Delete Files... under Temporary Internet Files on the General tab to remove the existing files<br />
# Click on Settings... under Temporary Internet Files<br />
# Change the Amount of disk space to use: to 1 MB<br />
# Click OK to get back to Internet Options<br />
# Click on the Advanced tab<br />
# Scroll down and check the box beside "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed"<br />
# Click OK to finish the settings<br />
<br />
Also, don't put large files on your desktop as it is part of your profile and<br />
profiles are not saved reliably. Please save the files to your Z:-drive.<br />
<br />
This should keep your profile small and keep it from getting corrupt.</div>Jazminl
