- - Changed code to make the icon NOT show up on the taskbar and to avoid the
- desktop.ini file in the recycle folder to be deleted (this should never happen anyway
- though some people hate these files) when emptemp is run with the /all command line
- option. Hope this helped. Let me know!
- - Changed the way cookies, history and urls are deleted: When clicking the red lightning
- button, only the listed items are deleted, which might be only the first 500 of
- several thousands. Then the next 500 are listed (or 1000, depending on what options
- you've selected).
