Is this safe???
On windows XP... is it safe to just delete all .tmp files?? Like for instance... can I do a search for *.tmp and safely delete all the temp files that come up? What about just deleting the contents of the C:/WINDOWS/TEMP folder??? No ill effects? I need to clean out my temp files. Thanks for your advice! 
What's wrong with using Disk Cleanup (My Computer | Right click on the drive | Properties | Disk Cleanup)?
But anyway: Yes - you can clean out all of the following safely:
C:\WINDOWS\Temp
C:\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\ YOUR_USERNAME \Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\ YOUR_USERNAME \Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
