Temp Internet Files

[Guest]

Hi, i have created a small BAT file to delete the contents of the temp
internet folder for all the 3 users on my computer.

The bat file works for the other 2 users, execpt it doesn;t delete the
contents of my temporary internet folder.

Here is my bat file:

@echo off
echo DELETING THE TEMP INTERNET FILES
DEL /Q /S C:\"Documents and Settings\user1\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*.*"
DEL /Q /S C:\"Documents and Settings\user2\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\*.*"
DEL /Q /S C:\"Documents and Settings\pinto\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\*.*"

for the first 2 users it works (but they have another folder called
content.IE5 - and i dont), but for mine (pinto), it doesn't. why is this?

regards

Hi,
If you login as another user with administrator privileges, you should be
able to see your Content.IE5 folders. They're hidden from the logged in
user. Along the same lines, the BAT file can't delete the TIF folder of the
logged in user because that folder is "in use."

I don't know what the workaround is.

The first 8 or 10 hits of this google groups search provided some very good
information about the TIF and it's subfolders. http://snipurl.com/bpan

Your Temporary Internet storage may have been moved. Also, if you are
logged in as yourself at the time it may be "in use".

You can setup IE to delete the Temporary Internet storage on closing
if you want. Tools-Internet Options-Advanced-Scroll to the bottom
under "Security" and check "Empty temporary... when browser is
closed".

Check the location of your Temporary Internet files and see if you
have moved it and that is why it is no longer located in your local
settings.
