Thank you for your reply.
The temp folder is located in the main user(me)temp folder under local settings which all is under Documents and Settings…
I use Windows 2000 and do have the latest windows updates.
I was able to run a disk clean up/scan in regular mode but have not yet tried to run the defrag in safe mode…
why do you think it is worthwhile to run the other virus scan?
Thank you.
