Default Outlook express generates wbk files in temp folder!

Outlook Express has started leaving loads of wbk files in the XP temp folder
everytime I look at saved emails or new emails that contain either pictues,
gifs ,jpg or HTML format.
It never used to do it so why now?
Disk cleanup does NOT delete them.

Why now? You installed IE8.

With IE6 or IE7, OE (and Windows Live Mail) puts those files in the
Temporary Internet Files (TIF). It isn't readily apparent that the
files are there since they don't show up with the common ways of looking
at the TIF. Paste the following into Windows Explorer to see them
%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\
Those files stay in the TIF until you manually clear the TIF including
offline content or possibly using some automated TIF clearing utilities.

With IE8, OE seems unable to use the TIF and so they go in the Windows
temp folder.

At least when they were placed in the TIF folder, all they slowed down was
the browser. By placing them in the Users temp area, they slow down
everything!

Files not being accessed don't slow anything down, they just sit there
looking DUMB!

Why should I have to run a utility every single day to keep my computer
operating as well as it used to?

[Please don't kill the messenger.]

Run Disk Cleanup once a month then or delete the contents of the folder
manually.

Please note that not all IE8 users are seeing this.

No-charge support for Internet Explorer 8 installation, set-up and usage
(only) is available via the phone based on your locale through 31 December
2009. Customers must be running Windows XP or Windows Vista in a non-domain
environment.
