Windows-11 Clean up the system


I wouldn't attempt to drive a Ford model T.
I would suggest you try it . It's allot of work but, gives you an idea of how good we have it today.

I have just answered three requests for my cleanup batch file. I just hope it works as well for Y'alls as it has for me.

It's easily edited, in Notepad or Wordpad, to add or remove lines of text.
I don't use Chrome, so there is no line to remove its junk. Likewise browsers, other than Edge and Firefox.

There is information on the web, as to where Chrome stores its Temporary Internet files.
I found this:

Temporary internet files in Chrome are stored in the following locations12:
  • On Windows: %LocalAppData%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache or C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache
While at the above site, i picked up a Virus! Beware!

Cheers Mates!
TM :cool:
PS: I just did some editing to my post #8. Much new info! Check it out!

While trying to find out where Chrome stores its TIF's I got infected by a Virus! WTF?

Windows Defender alerted me. So I quickly shut down my PC and booted back up with my Ghost Boot FD, and ran a Ghost Restore from two days ago. So I'm now running on a two day old copy of Windows 11.

* A thunder storm just rolled in and the outside temp just dropped from 105 degrees F, to 85 degrees F.

At least on this forum software, communication by "Personal Messaging" is somewhat limited. For instance, I can't send someone a picture in a PM.
That's why I encourage anyone wanting to just chat with me, to PM me their email address, and then we can carry on communications without limitations, and in a more private environment. And it's quicker too, almost like a phone call, because my email program is set to check my mail box every three minutes, all day long.
I use O.E.Classic on Win-11, and Widows Mail on Win-7.
I already have several good friends that I've met on a forum, and email with on a regular basis. (going back decades).
