Temporary Internet Folder

[satinbows]

My sister was here over the weekend and she pulled my temp-internet folder to
my desktop. Guess she thought it would save me time dumping it. But I have
been unable to put it back in the windows folder or anywhere else because of
the index. Does it have to stay on my desktop now? Thanks for any information
you can give me on this.

Delete/move the folder to the recycle bin and reboot. A new folder should be
created and placed in the proper place.

Mike it will not let me delete: Temporary Internet Files is a Windows system
folder and is required for Windows to run properly. It cannot be deleted.

Try a system restore to a point before the folder was moved.

Unfortunately I don't have a restore point back that far. Is there nothing
else that can be done?

Try renaming the folder then see if it will delete.

I tired that and it still won't delete because of the index. Now I have it
named tempo and can't get it changed back to Temporary Internet Folder
because I get this message: cannor rename temp: Access is denied. Make sure
the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in
use. Well when I make sure everything is closed, I still get the same message.

Log on with the built in Administrator account, in safe mode. Open Windows
Explorer and navigate to the Desktop folder for other account that you are
using under C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\Destop and delete the
folder from there.

I put it in safe mode and went through the Administrator, the folder I needed
was empty, so went through the process again and logged into the account that
the problem was in. It was the same thing, because of the index I could not
move delete or rename. I could copy here and delete the copy but not the
tempo file on the desktop. Sounds hopeless?
