Hi Sharon,
Thanks for the post.
I deleted the "Content.IE5" folder and "index.dat" file
to try to solve the problem I was getting with blank
windows opening up whenever I used the "Open In New
Window" command with Internet Explorer 6 which caused it
to hang. Pressing F5 Refresh didn't work. I then had to
close all the Internet Explorer windows using the Task
Manager before it allowed me to do anything else.
I deleted the "Content.IE5" folder from my own profile
only. However I did reboot the system and looked up some
websites using my profile again, but when I took a look
at the Temporary Internet Files folder, there was
no "Content.IE5" subfolder nor was there an "index.dat"
file. Instead, all the temporary internet files have been
dumped into the Temporary Internet Files folder of the
profile that I am using.
I'm still looking to solve the blank window and hanging
of Internet Explorer 6 and I thought that this was
related to it.
Any help or advice in trying to resolve the matter would
be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Darren
