Re: Location of Temporary Internet Files is moving

For any USER the Temporary Internet Files folder location IS

%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Local Settings is Hidden.

As far as I know

C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files

is only used occasionally if a user right clicks a file points to Send To
and clicks Mail Recipient.

For any logged on user, this should open the Temporary Internet Files
folder.

Open Internet Explorer
Tools
Internet Options
General tab
Settings button
View Files button

The Address Bar should display the ACTUAL path with the ACTUAL user name.

For any logged on user, this should open the Temporary Internet Files
folder.

Type or paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...

%userprofile%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

The Address Bar should display the ACTUAL path with the ACTUAL user name.

What is your exact problem?

Dear all,

I'm getting a very odd problem on some Windows XP computers. Usually,
a user's temporary internet files would end up somewhere in their
profile, eg C:\docume~1\username\locals~1\applic~1... etc

Somehow, something is resetting this to C:\Windows\Temporary Internet
Files - which is a bit of a problem for users who aren't
administrators, as they only have read permissions to the directory.

Any pointers?
