I hate Microsoft

Ok so I don't hate them at all, it just seems to be the thing to cry from the rooftops when some little thing they designed goes awol. For me it is slightly stronger than that though, it's almost enough to put me on red alert were it not for having to change the light bulb*. So anyway, my ever so teeny gripe is... (* Red Dwarf. Tonight. BBC1. Go. Warn the village) ... ... ... ... ... ... why ... ... ... ... ... ... does ... ... ... ... ... ... clearing ... ... ... ... ... ... my ... ... ... ... ... ... temporary ... ... ... ... ... ... internet ... ... ... ... ... ... files ... ... ... ... ... ... cache ... ... ... ... ... ... take ... ... ... ... ... ... so ... ... ... ... ... ... fucking ... ... ... ... ... ... long ... ... ... ... ... ... ? ? ? Twenty friggin' minutes my PC was unusuable - even CTRL+ALT+DEL failed to work. Why?! I've isntalled Windows in less! :mad: :(

It could be, though aparently the last time I defragged the beasts was the 9th March. I'll bare that in mind, and try and schedule a defrag the day before I want to clear the cache.

I beleive it's the millions of small jpegs you have been collecting, you know, those "nature" shots you like so much. The small file sizes causes a lot of disk thrashing and fragmenting ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!

I've also heard rumors that if you collect such images, you'll grow hairs inside your palms. :rolleyes: -- Shine, enlighten me - shine Shine, awaken me - shine Shine for all your suffering - shine

Cleaning the cache is not just deleting all files in a directory. There are some pretty intense calculations involved (scan phase, purge phase, callbacks and so on. Some handlers also tries to compress rarely used files, I think :confused: ). I suppose it all depends on how the functions in IEmptyVolumeCache and its relatives are implemented... Twenty minutes seems unhealthy, though. /moliate
The corners of my eyes catch hasty, bloodless motion - a mouse? Well, certainly a peripheral of some kind.

They get saved in their own directory and deleted from the cache manually soon after. :~

It must be those Elmo games:laugh: but seriously, like moliate said, it does alot. I bet in is compressing some files, or calculating something, because in XP if I use the cleanup applet, it takes light years to calculate the space I would save if I compress "older" files:mad: It never used to do that before!! Compression is evil, unless it is for back-up purposes, in most cases!!! Later,

I can't tell you how many people get offended at me when I try to say that. I'm even very polite about it! Stupid though...I mean, if you're gonna use a term, you should know what it means, right?

Lol! :laugh: The scary thing is a year ago I thought I might well need that - at the very minimum face, chest, abdomen and back, and probably hands and arms too. Fortunately the hormones have helped a lot and my back, hands and arms are OK. I'm still getting my face, chest and abdomen treated (and it's pretty painful, believe me) but I'm making progress now. Pretty soon though I've got to decide what to do about the most painful area of all. I'll leave you to guess where that is. :-O Anna :rose: Homepage | My life in tears

I wouldn't mind laser treatment on the lower backside of my neck. Odds are that I'll be as hairy as a gorilla in 10 years from now. Anna-Jayne Metcalfe wrote: and it's pretty painful, believe me Really? I was under the impression that laser treatments were mostly painless. Does it burn, or what?
