temporary files, cookies, etc
Is it safe to delete all temporary files and cookies from time to time? Are
there multiple locations for them?
Dealing specifically with internet files is there a simple way of deleting
files and history on shutdown or start-up?
I'd like to protect some cookies from deletion - the useful ones that store
my library user information for example. Can this be done whilst allowing
the rest to be deleted?

TIA

In addition to what TaurArian has said if you use more than one User
Account you need to run it in each User Account that has been used.

Hope this helps.

I regularly use Crap Cleaner to get rid of all these and other
unneccessaries in my computer; have never had a problem.
