Hello,
First off, I didn't know where else to put this. I have a user who is
trying to save the temp. internet files from within DOS. There is no listing
for the temp. internet files under the c:\documents and settings\user
id\local settings directory. Any ideas on how to locate these files under
DOS? Thanks in advance.

Presumably this user is using FAT instead of NTFS; else, they won't see
anything on the partition when booting using a DOS-bootable floppy.

Have you tried removing the 'System' file attribute on the folder? How
do you know the user didn't change the cache's location in IE?

Hi Vanguardx,
Thanks for the reply. Where would I look to remove the system file
attribute on the folder. I went into the properties of the temporary
internet files folder and only have read only & hidden as attributes. Do you
mean the System group under the Security Tab of the TIF properties? I'm
pretty sure the cache wasn't moved. Thanks,
Wes

Well, since you are booting using a DOS-bootable floppy then use DOS
commands to look at the folder's attributes (i.e., use the 'attrib'
command). It's been too long since I used pure DOS to remember if a
'system' attribute would hide the file, that's why I wonder if the user
didn't move their browser's cache store somewhere else. I notice a
'dir' command (in a DOS shell under Windows XP) will not show the
"Temporary Internet Files" folder, so you have to do a 'dir /as' to see
it. However, you can still use 'cd' to change to that folder even if it
is not listed by a normal 'dir' command (i.e., not listing it doesn't
prevent you from moving into it). Just do a 'cd temporary*' command
(when you are in the Local Settings parent directory).
