Hi, I have a Windows XP Home system and very recently I
discovered a new issue. When I go into Disk Cleanup it
tells me that there is 32mb on WebClient Publisher that
can be freed, I do the clean up now and poof it doesn't
clean up this issue. I have done a little research on my
own and it seems that it's a corrupted Internet
Exployer .dat file for IE 5x. I have IE 6.0 sp1 running
and I have also done a search for any IE 5.0 files.
Seems that it's locked to a old history file also.
Yesterday I ran a command sfc prompt for repairing IE.
Start, Run, cmd, sfc /scannow which this checks all of
your IE files to make sure everything is there and
running. Mine came back fine but when I went and checked
the disk cleanup sure enough there was the 32mb still in
it. I have cleaned my history, temp internet files,
offline files and also have searched for several files to
try and find something this might be locked to. Any help
out there to fix this would be great, and also is there
away to delete a .dat file without going through system
restore. I read somewhere that if you shut everything
down in Task manager except systr and IExployer then you
can do some trouble shooting from there.
Help with any suggestions!
Thanks

I see you have no replys to your problem. I am in the same position as you but the webclient/publisher temp files are showing 10Mb at the moment and disk cleanup won't touch it.How are your investigations going? Can you throw any light on the subject
Thanks.....

Hi, As a prety novic XP user I also have been troubled by this problem. I got this computer in November and as of today 30 March have accumalated over 40MB in this WebClient Publisher and no amount of Disk-Cleanup's move it? I do not know where this whatever it is comes from?? I would like to know what it contains and if it is removable and how?? If there is somebody out there in the comunity that can help that would stop me tearing my hair out!
