Post subject: Can I delete all these files?

Periodically I go through my computer to see what can I delete. Just an exercise in getting rid of junk or stuff that's just hanging around.
Can I delete all .log files once I don't need the info in the text?
Can I delete all .txt files for same reason as above?
Can I delete all .exe files since the file has served already executed once it's run?
Can I delete all .msi, .msp, for same reason as above?
Can I delete all .tmp and .temp files?
Can I delete Windows Installer or the files in this folder? 452 MB of .msi and .msp files?

I have XP Home, SP 3, IE 8.

Thanks, Phil

The .txt extention is for notepad if you donot have any data on notepad then you can delete.
The .log files is for event viewer if you want you see your login and log of event then .log file is required
The .exe files is for executed any program this is important files
msi files are also related to office files
