[What happened to the IE cache?]

Thanks GCN. I keep all my folders set to "show hidden files" and the orginal Temprorary Internet Files folder was hidden also. Good idea though. That little trick has left many people stumped looking for folders.lol

Thanks for the reply. As for the link you provided to the info on IE7, I appreciate it. I wish I'd seen it earlier! Guess I'm stuck with IE7 now. Yuck. From what I've seen so far, it's horrible. I haven't used IE in several years but IE7 is in my opinon worse than IE6. There are some improvements but the visual effects/looks are horrible.

 

Thanks for the screenshot. I can get to that menu via Tools>Internet Options, as you can in IE6. From there, where you mentioned, it tells me that my temp folder is located at C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ even though it isn't. Who knows? I guess it's not a real big deal. It could be just an IE7 glitch.

 

Thanks for the help.

Ok, this is strange.

 

I just opened IE7, went to Tools>Internet Options>Browser History>Settings and it shows the current location of the Temporary Internet Files and History as........ C:\Documents and Settings\Jason\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ . The problem is that folder is no longer there like it has been for years. Even in my other profiles, that folder is gone. Yes Local Settings is usually a hidden folder and I have the folder options set to show hidden folders, so that's not the problem.

 

Anyone have any ideas on this one? I'm stumped.lol

Thanks for the replies! I think I might have just realized the problem and it's not Ccleaner's doing.lol On the same day I installed and ran Ccleaner I also installed the new IE7 Beta. It is very possible that IE7 saves the cache in a different location.

 

Andavari, when I right click on the IE icon and go to Properties there is no option under any of the tabs for Temporary Internet Files. Maybe this is a change with the new IE7? I'll do some Googling and see if I can find out if IE7 moved the cache location.

 

Thanks for the help. I seriously doubt it's Ccleaner's doings, as I orginally suspected.

I own a computer & tech help company and a tech at another company recommended Ccleaner to me and I've got to admit it is great. Quick, easy and very thorough!

 

Now I've got a question. After doing a full clean on my system I went to go find something I was hunting in my IE cache (yes I use Firefox 99.9% of the time. ) and my cache folder is gone? When I go to >Documents and Settings>My Profile>Local Settings, the Temporary Internet Files folder is gone? I can't find it anywhere. Even after several days of restarts and using IE and Maxthon a few times, the Temporary Internet Files folder is still gone.

 

Any ideas folks? Thanks for the help.
