Which is convenient, but storing all these files can slow down your computer, and also leave a trail of the sites you’ve been visiting. Instead of having to remember to clear your cache to delete any temporary files Internet Explorer has saved, you can tweak your registry every time you quit Internet Explorer the browser automatically deletes the temporary files.

Modifying your system’s registry can cause serious problems that may require reinstalling your Windows OS. We can’t guarantee any problems resulting from your modifying your Window registry can be fixed. You’re using these manual Windows registry fix or registry repair instructions at your own risk. It’s highly recommended you backup your system and its important files before editing your registry.

Using a Registry Editor to Delete Temporary Files When Quitting Internet Explorer

When you want to perform a registry fix such as Delete Temporary Files When Quitting Internet Explorer, it’s necessary to understand how to use your Windows system’s Registry Editor.

Once you’ve launched Registry Editor - or “REGEDIT.exe” - you’ll notice on the left-hand side of the Registry Editor window there is a tree of folders, and on the right-hand side of the window the contents - or the “values” - of the folder you’ve selected are displayed.

Similar to when you’re using web browser Internet Explorer, when you want to expand a branch of your registry’s folder tree and see the structure of a section of the registry, you simply double-click on the folder or click once on the plus sign (+). To see the contents of a key - or “folder” - you simply click on the key and view the values listed in the right-hand side of the window.

To add a key or value, you’ll right-click the “Edit” menu with your mouse, then select “New.” You can also rename almost any key and any value in about the same way you’d rename a file on your computer: just right-click the registry key or value and select “Rename,” slowly click on the registry key or value twice, or simply press F2 on your keyboard. You can delete a registry key or registry value by clicking on it to select it and pressing “Delete,” or by right-clicking the registry value or key and selecting “Delete.”

You should backup your registry before you make any changes to it. Editing your registry can be intimidating to you if you’re not a computer expert, and when you change or a delete a critical registry key or registry value, there’s a chance you may need to reinstall your entire Windows operating system, or damage your PC beyond repair.
