Guest M8RIX Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Greetings all, Recently I have noticed that I can no longer view the full contents of the temporary internet files folder. Previously I had access to the subfolders contained in this folder (ContentIE5 etc...) but I no longer do. I have no clue as to why I no longer have access to these subfolders. Also the security, customize and sharing tabs are gone from the properties dialog on both the temporary internet files and the history folder. None of the other folders are affected this way. How can I regain access to these folders? More importantly, what took control of them? The only change that I have made recently that may have caused this is the installation and use of CCleaner. Would this cause this behavior? XP Pro SP2 Show hidden files enabled. Hide protected OS files unchecked. Use simple file sharing unchecked.

Guest M8RIX Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Re: Lost control of temporary internet file folder. I did not think to use the Unlocker. I have that already. Unfortunately it did not do the trick. I don't know how I can take ownership of the folder if the security tab is not present on the folder. I do not get any "Access Denied" error messages at all. The Temporary internet files folder properties show that the folder contains 3000+ files and 5 folders but I cannot view them, they simply are not visible to me. I am able to navigate to the folders using the search tool Agent Ransack so I know they are still present. If I delete the Desktop.ini file contained in the same folder as the ContentIE5 folder I am able to view the files from that point on until I reboot. So I have to beleive that some process is writing the desktop.ini file to suit its own needs. How would I confirm this suspicion?
