I thought I'd explained that I wasn't saying that CCleaner is incorporated into the Yahoo! toolbar, but that the toolbar is included in the install file of CCleaner.  There is a difference.

As you say, there is only one version of CCleaner (free version), but it is available in 3 different builds.

Here is where to find the different builds on the CCleaner website, as I described earlier:
http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds.aspx

Here is the post from the official forum showing the changelog when the toolbar was first included (highlighted):

v1.27.260
- Added secure file deletion.
- Added Windows HotFix Uninstaller cleaning.
- Added optional IE toolbar.
- Updated application icon.

I hope that this helps to clarify.

Hi Treebeard

Thanks for the link.  I wasn't aware of the other versions. 

I was aware that certain options are greyed-out in the standard version, so I assumed there was a 'professional version' that could activate those options.

I shall investigate further.

Another way of deleting temporary internet files is via the toolbar in Internet Explorer.
Select Tools , then Delete Browsing History - this brings up a box with various options the top one being for temporary internet files - if you select that they will be deleted.

I actually use the "Delete All" option regularly - I'm quite happy to type in user name & password for sites such as this & prefer to remove "clutter" from the hard disk.
