Is it OK/Safe to delete all "TEMP" files to conserve hard disk space?
Thanks

Yup. If for no other reason than to do it to prevent disk clutter as most
drives are absolutely huge these days.

Thanks again for the info - one final ques; why do these computers save all
those "temp" files anyway?

Of course, since XP will not let you delete a file that is in use.

Yes, but if you have to do it more than occasionally, then
you should look at getting a bigger disk.
