no ray0711, defragmenting your hard disk is a different thing.

Cleaning your system fromtemporary internet files is the same as deleting unwanted files created by your browser etc... They are used basically so that websites load faster, the majority.

Defraging your hard disk means arranging your fiiles, I'm not going into terms like boot sectors etc..., so that your system will find files faster. If you awnt to know more I've searched for a simple article for you on this link:

are temporary internet files the ones that are on the right hand side of screen, where one can choose to see last weeks events. or go to sites visited today ??????????/

Well i guess those are considered as a small piece of temporary internet files. From my knowledge the majority of temp internet files are made up of files which your browser downloads each time you visit a website. For example if the webpage you're viewing now has 100 images, it will download those images into your hadr drive so the next time you visit the same webpage again it would load faster than the first time. So you end up with loads of files, not just images, but cookies etc...
