We were having some trouble with various parts of our internet service to
the public and it seemed that most of it was attributable to cache and
temp files.  So I went through a number of posting on this listserve and
ended up taking the idea of a batch file to solve the trouble.

I wrote the following and made a shortcut on the desktops of our internet
and ref. PCs.   This was so if things get slow just run the batch file and
let the user clean out the files.
Oh this is for win95

deltree/y c:\progra~1\netscape\naviga~1\cache\*.*

deltree/y c:\windows\tempor~1\*.*

deltree/y c:\windows\temp\*.*
exit

also create a dos directory and copy command.com into it.
Another little tip.  If you run dos programs in win95  you may find that
they run alot happier if you have a dos directory with only command.com in
it.  
The first line is for netscape the next IE and the last win95 temp files.
You will need to go into propetries and ajust for exit with finished etc.
I chose the lightning bolt from the cloud icon.
