It's generally OK to delete any files with the following extensions: .TMP,
.BAK, .$$$
Easiest way is to go to "Start > Find > Files or Folders" and make sure
"Look in" is set to "Local Hard Drives"
Enter *.TMP in the "Named" box and click "Find Now" -- you will get a list
of all *.TMP files --
Use "Ctrl-A" to highlight the files and "Del" to delete them -- Repeat for
*.BAK and *.$$$ files --
Your "CAB" files were likely Install files for Windows or some other
software that you may need and should have kept --
