When you play movie clips and music clips in firefox the files seem to go into this folder.

http://img300.echo.cx/img300/8200/download1fb.th.jpg (http://img300.echo.cx/my.php?image=download1fb.jpg)

Ccleaner does`nt empty this folder for some reason which i gather is because other programs put thing in here as well because the files that are left in here are being used by another program so i cant delete them. Why do the files not just go into my temerary internet folder instead of this temp one. :unsure:

I use WMP, do you think that i can change the settings in there to make the files go straight into the temperary internet folder.???

Thanks in advace. :D

It downloads usually to the desktop so i`m unsure why it put stuff in this folder.:dry:

I`ve added the folder to ccleaner and it`s deleted all the stuff that`s not in use. Just a another annoying thing with Xp.:dry:

Go to the firefox downloads manager and hit the "Clean Up" button, and that should delete the files
