I'm running XP Pro SP3 up to date with all
MS fixes with a clean report from the anti
virus/malware software.

Even if I *just visit* web sites and,
1. do not install anything,
2. do not download anything,
3. do not create any new files,
4. delete all Windows temp and internet
temp files,

the count produced by the analyze function
of Disk Defragmanter.msc goes up on average
by 50 to 100 files a day. The percentage of
the hard drive in use remains constant.

Also, the count of objects examined, output by
the anti virus software, goes up by about the
same amount. Thus it's not being incremented by
simply my resaving pre-existing files.

While not really a problem I'm curious as to
what's going on. Does anyone have an explanation
or idea why? Thanks.

I don't know everything that happens but download cleanup and it gets
rid of all these unnecessary files

After you deleted those temp files, did you empty the Recycle Bin?
