C:\Windows\temp: Safe to trash?

I'm not terribly familiar with the inner workings of PC's. Can I 
assume that trashing anything in C:\Windows\temp is safe to 
permanently delete?

I've got stuff like

_isttmp0.dir
setup.exe
date1.cab (lot's of cab files)
Office 2k setup(0001).txt

I want to free up the disk space, but don't know if I'll savage my 
system by doing so. I know how it works on a Mac, but is there a rule 
of thumb as to how I can acertain what is trashable on a PC?
