Dumping the trash - Windows 7

If you, like me, periodically dump the contents of your Temp folder to get rid of stuff that's past its 'best before' date, I'd just like to remind you that in Windows 7, there are several Temp folders. Yep - I wouldn't lie to you. There's a 'Windows Temp', an 'Administrator Temp' and 'Username Temp' (for each user!) - So if you're making a shortcut to your Temp folder, don't stop at one....

To keep everything organized handily, you can make a new folder in your user file, and call it something like 'Out It Goes'. Into that folder, drag & drop those three shortcuts you made for those three different Temp folders above. Then, if you make a shortcut to that one folder called 'Out It Goes', you can easily find all those others in one place, and not have to go hunting for them.
