CCleaner keep moving my Temporary Internet Files folder!

[Alan_B]

Because I only use Firefox with IE Tab.

Yet again - I repeat a warning I received and heeded years ago :-

IE TAB is NOT a safe Addon - it is a Gateway to Hell of IE vulnerabilities.

Phrases I vaguely recall include "IE Rendering Engine" and "Trident - the GUTS of I.E."

That is what I have been told.

I fully appreciate that my warning is totally unrelated to the topic,

but I thought it appropriate to issue a warning of an unexpected danger.

I am open to correction,

in which case please tell me and dispel needless fears which others have shared with me,

BUT PLEASE do not strike out my post as if it is dangerous heresy ! !

Regards

Alan

Well I only use it for a single site because I don't use IE.. only for the bank billpay page.. that is the only site I use that requires IE. Oh and also the Microsoft download site.. not a single else do I use IE for.

mrbarty, Do you have the latest XP service pack installed? If not, would you be able to install the latest one?

molitar, Can you update to latest IE version?

Please, anyone else experiencing this problem post your OS (including Service Pack info) and IE version.

Thanks

No I will not put any IE garbage on my system. I personally hate IE and especially version 7, 8 or 9.. I hate the interface and the non-customization of the interface.

The thing is it doesn't matter if you use IE. The releases are security releases on top of feature releases. IE whether you like it or not is the guts of a windows OS. Trident (as Alan mentioned) is used by many programs.

While Alan's warning, to me is a bunch of over-inflated Firefox propaganda, in truth it and Mr T's question brought out the truth of the matter.

You need to keep your internet explorer up-to-date

Especially if your problem has to do with updates Microsoft pulled to make ie6 even slightly safe

MR. T is an official bug tester. . . that means if you want your problem to go away you need to give him the information he asked. . . and all other members need to remember that this is an official forum for a software and NOT to digress the conversation into things like don't use X Y or Z.

'Nuff Said

Finally even if you refuse to upgrade IE and keep ie6 and even if you have windows 98, MR. T needs to know so they can test it so again. Please tell us your Windows and IE version.

Thanks,

Old topic reborn with new information

why are my Temporary Internet Files, Cookies and History folders are located in the Temp folder?

This is a consequence of damaged index.dat files. When Internet Explorer cannot read one of the index.dat files from the standard locations, usually C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings, it will create new folders under the Temp folder. To fix this:

1. Start -> Control Panel -> Internet Options;
2. Click the Settings button, then click Move;
3. Specify some temporary folder, e.g. C:\MyCache;
4. Click OK, you'll be prompted to logoff and logon again, click Yes (restart Windows manually if not prompted);
5. After logon open Windows Explorer;
6. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\;
7. Delete Cookies folder;
8. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings;
9. Delete History and Temporary Internet Files folders;
10. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temp;
11. Delete History, Cookies and Temporary Internet Files folders;
12. Start -> Control Panel -> Internet Options;
13. Click the Settings button, then click Move;
14. Specify C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings;
15. Click Yes when prompted to logoff (restart Windows manually if not prompted).
