    By your method:
    !: You need more than 1 click to do it everytime.
    2: You cannot run it automatically at startup.

    Set it once and your files are deleted everytime you exit IE.

    Also, set your browsing history to 0 days. Set your cookies to accept First-Party Cookies and Block third Party cookies.

    And you are done. No more clicks.

    Never need to worry about it again. Why make it hard when Windows makes it easy for you ?

    In addition, if you are really paranoid, you can install ccleaner (freeware) and run it every day on startup to clean your computer.

    Hi,

    Is there any way I can unhide certain files in the temporary internet files folder (like *.flv and other media files) so that they are more easily accessible?
