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

Browsing history and click settings You will see its location. View files will open it for you too. |

A_C I'd like to present a case for no browser cache. By all means, correct me if I'm wrong! Something I learned years ago was to turn off the cache entirely. With a broadband connection, web pages appear in the blink of an eye. Having to dig through the cache to find bits and pieces could actually be less efficient. To me, it seems browser cache really only makes sense on slow connections to the WWW. Furthermore, lots of web pages that resides on your 'puter (help systems, interactive manuals, etc.) don't need to be cached. That would certainly be more trouble than it's worth, imho. Turn off your browser's cache (0k) for a couple minutes and see if you can tell any difference. Best, Andy -- "If your computer had eyes, you'd look like a statue." --Unknown 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 |

Turn off your browser's cache (0k) for a couple minutes and see if you can tell any difference. 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. A_C |
