I have one more observation. I noticed that when viewing files under
Administrator, there are none displayed in the Temporary Internet Files
folder. Under Owner, there are cookies displayed in the Temporary Internet
Files folder.

No, IE is not fixed for deleting TIFs. I just now tried it again but
received the same response: "Internet Explorer has encountered an error
and
needs to close." I did not choose to report the error to Microsoft
since it
has happened numerous times.
Can any internet application be open at the same time as IE when
deleting
TIFs? I had MSN Explorer open at the same time now. However, I did not
have
it open all the other times I have attempted deleting TIFs from IE.
:
I was hoping that the inability to clear the TIF from Internet Options
was
due to a corrupted TIF folder. Is that fixed?

I successfully deleted Content.IE5 from Administrator in Safe Mode!
Now, what do you suggest for the next step?
At least TIF files from within the Temporary Internet Files folder
are deleted as well as Content.IE5.
:
Hi,
Go one level deeper and see if you can delete Content.IE5 from
Administrator / Safe Mode.

No. I tried it again to verify I was in Safe Mode and the TIF
folder
would
not delete from Administrator. The response was as follows:
"Temporary Internet Files is a Windows system folder and is
required
for
Windows to run properly. It cannot be deleted."
:
Hi,
The TIF folder wouldn't delete from Administrator in Safe
Mode?

So far, I have tried System Restore as far back as I could
go
(10/31/06)
and
could not delete TIF files due to the same Error message.
While in Safe Mode, I also verified other programs running
via
task manager
and only found "IE" and "HP Agent" running so I closed them
and
tried again
to delete TIF files without success due to the same error
message.
I also tried deleting the Temporary Internet Files folder
under Local
Settings and got the message "Cannot delete Temporary
Internet Files."
So I am at a loss for a resolution at this time. Perhaps a
3rd party utility will fix it.
:
Hi,
It's possible that another program is causing this
problem.
See if you can delete the Temporary Internet Files after
starting up in Safe Mode.
315222 - A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in
Windows
XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=315222
You could try closing other programs through task manager
(Ctrl-Alt-Del.)
See if you can determine which is causing the problem.
Or you may have a corrupted TIF folder.
Try deleting the Temporary Internet Files folder for the
affected user
account. A new folder will be created on restart. Login as
another user with
administrator privileges, or from the machine's default
administrator
account (startup in safe mode.) Make sure that you can see
hidden and system
files (Folder Options> View) Then delete the affected TIF
folder
from
Windows Explorer. It will be at [C:\Documents and
Settings\username\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files] Restart.
Also, it's often recommended that the TIF folder size be
set to
between 50-100 MB.

I cannot delete Temporary Internet files within IE6 now.
After
clicking on
Tools\Internet Options\Delete Files (Temporary Internet
files), I get an error message:
Error: Internet Explorer has encountered an error and
needs to
close.
After looking at "Windows Task Manager" I found IE not
responding. so I
click on "End Task" and it shuts down IE. This happens
every
time
I try deleting Temporory Internet files now.
I am running Windows XP SP2 on an HP desktop. I also
use MSN
Explorer with
my Qwest ISP and have the same problem there.
