Re: Temporary internet files

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi,
The inability to change the size of the Temporary Internet Files folder
probably indicates a corrupted folder.

Try deleting the Temporary Internet Files folder for the affected user
account. Make sure that you can see hidden files (Folder Options> View) Then
login as another user with administrator privileges, or from the machine's
default administrator account (startup in safe mode) and delete the affected
TIF folder from Windows Explorer. It will be at [C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files]

It's often recommended that the TIF folder size be set to about 50-60 MB. A
larger cache may be more prone to corruption.

Hope this helps,
Don
