Temporary Internet Files

[Star]

Hello to group,

Pls. I need some help.

I've just noticed a peculiar change regarding the location of my Temporary
Internet Files and this has happened in just the last few days.

Okay, when I *now open a webpage* the files for the page being viewed are
going to this location.
**C:\Documents and Settings\Star\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\C927CHMJ**
Yes, they are all going into IE5 Contents folder\C927CHMJ. And, if I display
list view, they are all at the end of the huge list.at the end of IE5
Contents\C927CHMJ folder.

Thii is the location the temp files for *open webpages were going*, and it's
always been that way on this puter.
**C:\Documents and Settings\Star\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files**.

#1. I want to *fix* the location back.
Pls., how do I stop current viewed pages from going to the
Content.IE5\C927CHMJ location and return the location to C:\Documents and
Settings\Star\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files.

#2. I will also need to move the TIF Folder from my Temp folder which I can
do, but I don't know how to stop the files from going into the
Content.IE5\C927CHMJ folder.

This seems so crazy, why would I want the TIF or Content IE5 folders inside
my Temp folder??
I don't know what happened, but I don't like it.

Thank you kindly,
Star

There is nothing wrong. What you are seeing is how Internet Explorer normally works. Please do not attempt to interfere with the normal operation of your computer.

Hello "M and D"

I have been doing Windows since 95 and I have fixed the problem.
I've opened a webpage, the page downloaded to
C:\Documents and Settings\Star\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

The above location is where they *always* downloaded, downloaded to the same
folder as my Cookies!!
In other vs. of Windows, it's C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

I don't mean to be a bitch, but why are you telling me not to interfere w/my
puter. I'm not a Windows guru but a saavy user and I support Windows on
many levels and OS's.

Further, if I so decided, I could shutdown the puter. I have several
partitions, put in my install CD, re-format, and re-install Windows XP on
the C:\ partition. Nothing is on C:\ partition except Windows XP OS and
Windows Programs files.

I never much ask for support, do all myself, except I was really tired. I
almost took the puter down over the wkend. I experienced a Windows Explorer
Shell problem due to recent critical update, and I have a HP scanner. I
could not browse period, Send To was broken, etc... That is fixed, I did
the necessary Regedits, someone led me to the problem with the critical
update.

I still want the other TIF folder out of my Temp folder at
C:\Documents and Settings\Star\Local Settings\Temp
The IE5 Content folder is in the above folder... Temp folder

What am I thinking... it's my Temp fldr?? IE5.Contents in the Temp fldr??
Iit's gone, I deleted it the entire contents of my Temp folder and Windows
didn't object!!
Absolutely nothing wrong, I always delete the contents of the folder before
I run Clean Mgr.
I'm going to bed.
Sorry I took the time of the group.
