Guest Rick Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 I'm using XP Home and would like to determine where the dll cache folder is located. I thought it was in the System 32 folder, but am unable to find it. Is it in a folder within System32? Could use some guidance. Thanks, Rick
Guest Gerry Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: Where Is dll cache Located? Rick Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked. Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is selected and then select View, Choose Details and check before Name, Type, Total Size, and Free Space. Now look again. -- Hope this helps.

Guest Patti MacLeod Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 RE: Where Is dll cache Located? Hi Rick, It is in the System32 folder, but you will need to set your folder options to "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" in order to see it.

Guest Rick Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Re: Where Is dll cache Located? Thanks, Gerry, I knew it had to be something simple. Forgot about unlocking the hidden files.
