IE won't store cookies/temp files anymore

[Guest]

I'm running Windows 2000 w/SP4 and the latest version of IE.

Just yesterday, IE decided randomly not to accept any cookies or temp files.
I now must re-log in to everything after the window closes. I go to Internet
options and in the General tab under Temp Internet files I hit Settings.

It says I am using 0mb for temp files, so I try to increase it. An error
message says that the value must be between 1 and 0. I change it to 1, same
thing happens. I go to Move Folder and select my regular temp. internet files
folder, and it says that there is not enough space there, but my hard drive
has several gigs free. I try it on my other hard drive in the machine (also
with several gigs free) and get the same error. It won't let me set any space
for temp files, so it annoyingly won't store cookies.

This only happens on IE and variants of it, like Slimbrowser. Firefox is
unaffected. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
An old article:
195163 - Cannot Change Temporary Internet Files Cache Size:

But, deleting the TIF folder may be still the solution for this.
See: How To Delete the Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files:

Another MSKB article: 301897 - Cannot Change the Temporary Internet File

Hope this helps,
Don
