Where is the Browser Cache in 7HP & How Can I Get To It?

[Agent_C]

I have to say, as happy as I am with Windows 7 HP, I'm getting REALLY
TIRED of my computer telling me I don't have authorization to see
something.

Every once in a while, I want to just go into my browser case a/k/a/
'temporary internet files' and just copy & paste a file into another
folder. However, every time I try to access certain sub-folders in
Documents and Settings, I get a message saying that "Access is denied"
with no further explanation.

Disabling User Account Control makes no difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Documents and Settings isn't a real folder.

Thanks but that's of limited help. Perhaps if I rephrase my original
question; where is the W7 browser cache and what do I have to do to
access it?

If you go into Internet options. Browsing history and click settings You
will see its location.
View files will open it for you too.

using Internet Properties check around the middle of the first screen for info about deleting and the settings button there.
you will find the address of the temp folder .

Many thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

The pages you see are downloaded then displayed from your cache But you can
have it dump them as soon as you finish the session

Point taken.

Occasionally however, I need to retrieve a file from the browser cache
because it's simply the easiest way to get it. Case in point is a .JPG
file, where the author has disabled the right-click function on the
mouse, in a feeble attempt to prevent people from downloading it. Or
more commonly, a streaming video clip that I'd like to keep on my hard
drive in the event it's taken down or expires.
