Temporary Internet Files

Andy I.

Hi,

I've just switched from WIN 98SE to a new PC with WIN XP SP2 HOME, and find
that the Temporary Internet Files folder is missing from the list under
C:\Windows.
Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Click to expand...

do a search of your hard drive for "Temporary Internet" you should find more
than one of them. but. only one will be used for your account so you will
need to check them all.

It is not under C:\Windows in XP.
Look in IE-Tools-Internet Options-General tab-Settings (in TIF
section) to see where it is.

If you ever have multiple users' accounts, putting it back under WINDOWS is
not where it belongs.
Each user has their own folder for privacy reasons and cookies.

That may be where it "belongs" in Win98, but you're running a different OS
now, Andy. <w>

Thanks, "NewScience"........ for the information. I didn't know that, and a
great deal more!
I don't have "Multiple Users' Accounts".

Thanks Robear. Is there any harm in it being in C:\ WINDOWS folder? I find
that it makes things a little simpler when checking Cookies, History,Temp
and TIF. Damn! I've just found out that Cookies and History aren't in
there either (at least not directly in WINDOWS folder). OK........ I'll
put it back "where it *really* belongs".........
and maybe invest in the book (XP FOR DUMMIES).

"Smoke and Mirrors", Robear.................. I see what you mean. I
"dragged & dropped" the TIF folder back to
where-it-belongs. It got there OK, but it's still in C:\ WINDOWS as well.
How can I get it out of there? (I know, I know.............. Don't fix it
if......)

| <VBEG> If you familiarized yourself with the "smoke and mirrors" nature
of
| TIF in Win98, you'll find that nothing's changed in WinXP, Andy.

IE Tools > Internet Options > TIF > Settings > Move folder

NB: Executing the above may erase all data in the folder you
dragged/dropped.

Lesson learned, wot?

Andy I.

Yes, Robear, I've learned *that* lesson. Thanks, but many more to come
methinks.
BTW, data in folder I dragged & dropped was not erased. Lucky, eh?
