Temporary Internet Files folder
Periodically, I use Windows Explorer to access the subject folder to make
sure Internet Explorer has deleted the cache and usually I could see one file in the Content.IE5 folder named index.dat. I've been doing this for years without any problems. A couple of weeks ago I went to do this and I was unable to see the folder structure below the Temporary Internet Files folder nor the index.dat file. But if I log on as another user I can see the Content.IE5 folder, file index.dat, and the randomly named subfolders beneath folder Content.IE5. I checked the Windows Explorer properties to see if my view was being restricted but the settings appear to be the same for both user IDs. Any clue as to what gives? |

Especially if both users are administrators on the local machine. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

I do not understand your reply. I've been using XP for 3+ years and I've
always been able to use Windows Explorer to view the full directory structure and all files within the Temporary Internet Files folder no matter which user ID I used. Now I am unable to do this with my main user ID. This is normal? Is there something in Windows Explorer that after three years of use it begins to display distorted views of directory structures in the event there are multiple users with administrator access?

No you haven't. It's been like that for almost 10 years.
