Disk Cleanup question

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have noticed that on a newly installed copy of Windows XP, there are
2 basic temp folders.
The first is c:\windows\temp
The second one is "user name" temp

So the question is this: Whcih temp folder does Disk cleanup cleanup?

thanks

How do you run disk cleanup when no one is logged in?

The user one if run by a user. Almost nothing will use the other one. But if
you run dislcleanup when noone is logged in then windows one will be done.
And is used by program that don't have a user.

I juest read in PC World today, page 64 of the 9/05 issue.

Here is the link for the article:

Here is what they say:

Terminate Temp Files
The annoyance: Browsing the Web, installing utilities, and performing
other normal Windows activities can cause a whole bunch of useless
files to build up in a hard-to-find Temp folder. (Typically it's
located in Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp.)
Worse, Windows skips this folder when I tell it to delete temporary
files.

The fix: In Windows Explorer, right-click the C: drive (or other
drive, as appropriate), select the General tab, and click the Disk
Cleanup button. Even though the Disk Cleanup tool deletes useless
files and thereby frees up disk space, it doesn't touch the Temp file
folder under Local Settings (see Figure 1). So I have to delete these
orphaned files manually: To do that, close all programs, navigate to
the folder, press <Ctrl>-A to select the files, and press <Delete>.
