Temporary Internet Files

[Guest]

I need for XPe to stop deleting all of my cookes on reboot. I don't want
users to have to reenter the password and user id for a certain website and
the information is saved in a cookie.

Originally cookies were stored on the Z: drive (RAMDRIVE). I attempted to
use IE Options to move the folder to the C drive. It seemed to work but on
reboot IE went back to looking for cookies on the Z: volume again, even
though I committed the changes, and IE still showed the Tempoary Internet
files on the C drive where I moved them. In the registry entry
HKey_Users/(UID)/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Esplorer/ShellFolders/Cookies
I found that the Data was still set to Z:\Administrator... So, I attempted
to change that registry entry to the path I wanted, set EWF to commit the
data, and rebooted. Low and behold if the reboot set the registry entry back
to Z:\Administrator. First, Can I make changes to the registry that will
Commit to Volume on reboot. Second, is there some other way? I have a
feeling that this registry key might be coming from some other file that is
loaded on reboot.

Hi Chuck,

You should modify the following keys:
Key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\User Shell
Folders

Name: Cookies

Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ

Value: <path_to_a_folder>




Key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\Shell Folders

Name: Cookies

Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ

Value: <path_to_a_folder>

Ethan:

Thanks for the reply.

My new problem is how do I get to the Registry Editor hkcu for USER when
Windows XPE is configured to not give USER access to the run menu, or Task
Manager

Any one have a way around this.

My last post was dumb. Sorry. I just had to add a shortcut to USER's
desktop to regedit while loggeed in as Administrator.
