Re: Deleting Vista Search Folders

Hi, pvc.

I'm not sure if those TIF files can be deleted while IE is running. TIF
files don't behave like "normal" files and are best handled by IE's Tools |
Internet Options. On the first (General) page, under Browsing history,
there are buttons to Delete or to change the TIF files.

In Tools | Internet Options | Advanced, under Security (the last category),
you can check the box to "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser
is closed". Does this accomplish what you are trying to do?
