This is good. MS DOS can't see my NTFS files. :-)

"Born And Raised In Outer-Space", I'd say.
I did find that I could, from the content.ie5 dir, enter
commands such as:
del /s *.gif
which deletes all .gif files in all the Outer-Space dir's.
This was very helpful.
I now have a tif.bat file that looks *something* like:
cd "Documents and Settings\username\local settings\temporary internet
files\content.ie5"
del /s *.gif
del /s *.jpg
<etc>
and it seems to work OK so far.
Much thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Peetie
