Guest Michael Walraven Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 My Temporary Internet File folder is 'dim' (system/hidden) but does not have a 'shortcut arrow' on it and it opens fine. So seems to work as expected on my Vista Home Premium configuration. I have not changed owners, permissions, other security settings etc. Michael "PA Bear [MS MVP]" <PABearMVP@gmail.com> wrote in message news:OJwe0BhPJHA.5080@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...<span style="color:blue"> > [Forwarded to Vista Security newsgroup via crosspost] > > Alexandra wrote:<span style="color:green"> >> I have just gotten a new PC with Vista and my Temporary Interent File >> folder >> is hidden.

Guest Michael Walraven Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 In my (working fine) case UAC is operating at default (lots of natters). I do not get any UAC warnings when browsing through to the Temporary Internet Files nor when opening any file in that folder. I do get a warning that running a system command on this item may be unsafe when opening a file in the folder. I note that on my system at: c:\users\walraven\AppData\Local there is a folder/link for Temporary Internet Files with a shortcut arrow on it.

To view all of the files in the REAL location, I had to disable UAC... for whatever reason. To get at the SWF and similar items the OP needs to go to the REAL location. Actually, the OP needs to use Firefox and install one of the great add-ons that will download SWF files, etc to the computer's hard drive and then convert it to whatever type is needed. Mine will download ANY flash movie from ANY site. No need to find it in the TIF folder. Quote
Guest FromTheRafters Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I presume the real files can be managed by "cleanmgr" so you can find them, wherever you relocated them to, by doing the following: Start - run - cleanmgr Highlight Temporary Internet Files Click the "View Files" button. Make a note of the location. Other TIF file locations may be there for some odd legacy programs to use but may not be managed by cleanmgr. Actually, Im not at the Vista machine now to confirm the process, but ISTR it is very much alike this XP process.

Guest tanuj_chadha Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 you can also try this: Open a CMD with admin rights. type in cd\ cd windows cd temp dir And you would see all the temporary internet files If you want temporary internet files regarding your user name then try this Open a CMD with admin rights. cd\ cd docume~1 cd username cd locals~1 cd temp dir -- tanuj_chadha Tanuj History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. - Karl Marx :geek: Quote

This is similar to my suggestion, because the OS should know where they are, for any user, no matter where they relocated them to. Knowing where they are on your machine is not the same as knowing where they are on someone else's machine. Quote

And you are correct, the OS 'should' know where they are.... I think we could be in trouble if it doesn't! THis should be correct regardless of group policy folder redirection policy: Regedit: HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentVersion\explorer\Shell Folders Cache Also there is a lot of funky interesting stuff in there!
