Re: Missing Temporary Internet Folders

Thanks for that Don.

That I didn't know, however your info has brought up another issue (or
related). I changed one of my user accounts to and Admin type and try to see
my folders and files. Got and "Access Denied" warning, so changed to the
System Administrator account and got the same "Access Denied" message. The
only one that can gain access to the account in question is the owner.

Seems as though there is a gremlin in there somewhere. Any ideas?
