After applying some recent Microsoft security updates my temp internet files
are not being deleted when I close the browser despite that option being
selected in the advanced options. the same thing happened when I updated the
wife's laptop at the same time. I have tried uninstalling the most recent
updates but to no avail. Can anyone help?.

Double check your settings.

Open IE | Tools | Internet Options | Advanced tab |
Scroll down to the bottom | check: Empty Temporary Internet Files folder
when browser is closed | click Apply | OK

Deletes the content of %homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files but not the Content.IE5 or Content.MSO folders.

To delete *all* Temporary Internet Files...

1) Start | Run | Type: inetcpl.cpl | OK
Or right click the Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop.
Or: Start | Settings | Control Panel | Internet Options.
Best to do this with all instances of Internet Explorer closed. Especially
if there are a large number of files.
2) On the General Tab, in the middle of the screen, click on Delete Files
3) Check the box  Delete all offline content {This cleans >>
%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
AND
%homepath%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
and \Content.MSO (Created by an MS Office program)}
4) Click on OK and wait for the hourglass icon to stop after it deletes the
temporary internet files
5) You can now click on Delete Cookies and click OK to delete cookies that
websites have placed on your hard drive.

If something like Outlook Express or Help and Support is running, not all
the files/folders are going to be cleared out.

Wes, the "empty temp files folder when browser is closed" has always been
ticked and has always worked in the past. It's just since applying updates a
few weeks ago that the files have stayed put. I have no trouble deleting them
by hand but would prefer it to happen automaticaly as it used to do . Would
there be some registry setting that I could check out?.

Wes, I checked that out as you suggested and the value is set to "0". I also
tried uninstalling the updates in safe mode as suggested by S. Sengupta. I
removed the last 21 back to 19th june but that didn't work either. I have now
re-installed them again. I did notice that in that time period there were 4
updates that couldn't be removed. If you can think of anything else it would
be much appreciated.

Wes, That's it sorted. I downloaded the prog. "Process explorer" and ran it.
Of the four programs it highlighted as locking the TIF folder, BTHelp
Notifier turned out to be the one causing the problem. I stopped it running
and the problem disappeared.

BTHelp Notifier watches out and fixes problems with e-mail so it wont be
missed. I can always run it when needed.

Thanks again for your help. All I need to do now is disable it on the wife's
laptop.

Glad to hear you fixed it. Keep having fun! :)
