Sorry about that, I always forget the check box for spacing:

Enter DOS.

At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command, 
and pressing Y if you are prompted to confirm folder deletion:

cd\windows
deltree cookies
deltree history
deltree tempor~1
exit 

NOTE: Be very careful, DO NOT deltree the Windows directory, make sure the prompts 
looks like this:

C:\WINDOWS\Cookies>
C:\WINDOWS\History>
C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files>

Just use the tempor~1 delete if that is all you want to get rid of.

You can also delete the IE5 folder under TIF and see if that will get rid of it. 
 The folder will recreate itself on next boot.
