I am running Windows XP with Service Pack 2 & I am in the habit of emptying
my Temp. Internet Files every day or so & I can usually scroll for ages from
top to bottom as there are that many files in the folder but I have noticed
that over the last week there are nowhere near as many in there & I usually
visit the same sites daily...I was wondering if someone could give me a
reason why this has happened.

Are you using any other cleaning program that may be disposing of the Temp
Internet Files? There are a number of them that will clean the Temp folder
by default.
Heirloom, old and clean mine regularly

Check your Internet Options - Advanced tab. Scroll down to the
Security section and see if the item to "Empty temporary internet
files when browser is closed" option is selected.

I always recommend having this option selected if you have a high
speed (cable or DSL) Internet connection.

Good luck

Actually the 'empty temporary internet files on browser closedown' doesn't
work and hasn't worked for quite a few incarnations of Internet Explorer, so
it is pointless checking this option.
