Show I.E. hidden files
This is where my I.E. temp files are.
Explorer will not show any files or directories even though they are present. Is there anyway to get explorer to show them ? Even using attrib won't show them. C:\TEMP\Temporary Internet Files |

C:\TEMP\Temporary Internet Files That is likely belong to the SYSTEM account, not your account. You'll need to change the security setting for that folder to give your account a read access. |

Show I.E. hidden files
You need to look where your "Temporary Internet Files" folder is set to :
open the "Internet Properties" control panel extension; and under the "General" (tab), then in the middle section (Temporary Internet Files) press the "Settings" button... In the dialog box that appears, you have a button option to "View files" - this option opens explorer and takes you to your "Temporary Internet Files" folder where you can view an "index" of files recently used by IE. This could be where your problem lies; the "Temporary Internet Files" folder, when viewed in Windows Explorer, will only show this "index" (also listing columns such as: "Expires") and not the actual "real" content of the folder; in other words, viewed this way, it will not show the sub-folder structure : "..\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\*" - So, if you navigate to "this" "Temporary Internet Files" folder, then edit in the address bar, adding [appending] it with: "Content.IE5" (without "double-quotes"), then you *should* see between 4 and 16 sub-folders, each with randomly-generated, 8-character names, within the "Content.IE5" folder, that is, itself, within the "Temporary Internet Files" folder... You may have better luck navigating to the files you want, with a [cmd.exe] command-prompt. Use the [[cd] [directory]] command, and the [dir /a] command, to navigate to where your files are listed - then, type: the following, at the prompt, exactly; explorer.exe /e, . ....(including the last "period"), to open an explorer window at the folder you're [currently] in. *N.B. The sub-folder "Content.IE5" is, by default, set hidden, system - but won't show-up in explorer anyway - even if you do use the "attrib" command on it, because of the code contained within the [desktop.ini] file held in it's parent directory; "Temporary Internet Files". This is the reason that it displays the actual temporary files in "index" form (two other instances of this being how files are viewed in Explorer, are in the "Fonts" folder and the "Downloaded Program Files" folder), rather than seeing the objects listed as themselves, as elsewhere using Explorer == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Andy" wrote in message ...
