Solved Temporary internet files and cookies in IE when I only use Google

[thelma]

Hello ,

Something that is been baffling me for a while now,

When I use CCleaner to clean my PC there are always Temporary Internet Files and Cookies found under Internet Explorer.
I only ever use Google Chrome, never EI, how is this possible ?

Cheers,
Thelma

Hi Thelma,
Do you mean the >> IE5 << temp files.
If you do, there a throwback to the old days and are NOT actually internet explorer files, as for the cookies.
Have you turned IE off?,
Control panel >> progrs & features >> features(top left) takes a minute or so to load , UNcheck IE11. reboot required

Thanks, Roy,for answering my query !

I am very dyslectic and don't see it when I turn things round . I am sort of blind for it. Use Grammary, which is a life saver. Anak, "Steve", made me aware of that !

Yes, I mean Internet Explorer.
Never use it, can't stand it and jet these Temp files and cookies are every time appearing in my "stuff to erase" in Ccleaner.
I had a look in "programmes and Features" I don't have Internet Explorer listed there. Now this is a sort of inherited laptop and there is a lot of old stuff of the last owner on it. I have many "Microsoft office" features listed there. Can that have to do with it ?
Or, is Google using Internet Explorer to get on the Internet ?

Cheers,
Thelma.

PS Sergeant Pepper was a very important LP in the Beat/Rock Music history !

PSPS I am gonna do a clean install in the nearby future. I am waiting to be in a situation where I can use an Ethernet connection.

Hi Thelma,
You have to click on FEATURES (top left), on the prog & features page it opens up a smaller window and a version of IE WILL be there, (It might not be 11 could 8,9,10), but uncheck whichever it is.

Hey, Roy, you were so right

Sneaky Internet Explorer 10 pups up it's nasty head, unchecked it !

Thanks a lot for that !!!!!
