Where does IE store temp files

[Licensed to Quill]

I have just set up a web page to synchronise a certain site by downloading
every page referred to on that site down to the first level of references on
that page

I now want to direct my slide show to look at the directory where those jpg
images are stored but I can't find the pictures anywhere

I know that the files were downloaded to my computer because half way along
the sync process I was told that I was running out of storage space
alloacted to IE in which to put the files resulting from these pages. I
tried running a search on *.jpg files in the IE temp pages and couldnt find
any anywhere. I also tried looking in local settings and applications data
which I thought was a hidden directory so might not be found by a normal
search.

Does anyone know where these jpg files (presumably along with all other
types of file found on those pages) are stored?

Temporary Internet files are stored where you tell IE to store them.
Launch IE, then follow this path:
- Tools / Internet Options / Temporary Internet Files / Settings /
View Files

As you said, the files & folders are hidden, so you need to look
a little harder. Open up the hidden folder "content.ie5", located
under the folder revealed above, then look at the hidden folders
underneath.

This is quite weird: based on your instructions, I can get to, see and
highlight all jpg files (which are called Active Server files in the File
Type column despite being JPG files) in that folder but when I try to drag
and drop them to a my documents folder in order to view those jpg files,
what actually gets transferred are ASP files (of the same size as the JPG
files, mysteriously exactly 165 kb in each file).

There seems to be some sort of password protect feature in those files which
prevents you from looking at them unless you laboriously click on and
download each of 571 different pages having originally logged on to the web
page you have syhnchronised and entered the password. (and only 71 of the
files did download in the sync process to my hard drive, possibly because it
then decided all these files were taking up too much space?)

Is there a way to transfer these files as jpg files or convert them to
another file type if they are saved as active server files?

How do I avoid this?

I am unable to duplicate your observations - I can copy & paste my
..jpg files exactly as any other file. Perhaps you should copy them
from a Command Prompt - this is where you get exactly what
you see, with no interference from Windows Explorer.

xcopy "C:\TEMP\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\OT678DAV\*.jpg" d:\JPG\
