Temporary Internet Files

[Joy]

Where are the Temporary Internet Files in Win XP? In 98 they were in C -
Windows - But I can't find them that way in XP. And Search doesn't seem
to locate them either.

Go to control panel and if in classic view, select

internet options. if in Catergory view, select network and
internet connections, selecting internet options there.

I was looking at a post in an Internet Explorer ie6browser newsgroup where
someone was asking about Favorites icons, and they said, . . . Well, let
me just copy the first reply/post to the group:

"Hi,
Favicons are stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Newer files
eventually push them out (replace them.)

Here's the hands-on method of saving them.
Favicons are in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Search the TIF folder
periodically for *.ico Copy any icons you want to save to another folder.
Right-click the internet shortcut> properties> change icon. They'll be saved
then, even after newer files would have pushed them out of the TIF folder."

Temp Net Files are located in Documents and Settings\username\local
settings. You have to enable "Show Hidden Files and Folders" to see the
local Settings.

Also they can be found in the Windows directory

Saving icons
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers.htm#favicon

IE Tools>Internet Options>General>Temporary Internet Files>Settings will
show you the current location of your TIF (but WYS is not WYG, really <eg>).

That's a rather cumbersome workaround IMHO. Might I suggest?...
