Guest stu Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 I'm new to WindowsXP, from Win98SE. I use Windows Explorer to manage my files and folders. When I try to access my TIF's, I can't expand my folder beyond "Temporary Internet Files". I know there are more folders beyond this, starting with Content.IE6, then a series of folders beyond that, but I can't get to them!?! I have my settings in Tools / Folder Options set to Show Hidden Files And Folders, but they're not there... Any ideas on how to access them? I tried to look at them through Internet Options, but with the same results. I'd really like to selectively remove just certain TIF's. Any help would be appreciated.
Guest Jim C Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Re: Tempory Internet Files Try using the cmd prompt and navigate to the temp internet folder. Then use the "attrib" command with switches -s -h /s to show system, hidden and include sub-folders.

DON'T FORGET - select "hide" for both options again when you've finished.
Guest Newbie Coder Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Re: Tempory Internet Files Smirnoff, No, you don't have to untick the system files/folders option. The Content.IE5 is the one that's hidden & a '\' character at the end of Temporary Internet Files path will show that folder (Content.IE5/Content.MSO). Then selecting it will expose the sub-folders -- Newbie Coder (It's just a name) "Smirnoff" <someone@nospam.invalid> wrote in message news:6D9AAF08-8857-41EA-BDF6-5761DB1AE25B@microsoft.com... > > > "stu" <stuman@mindspring.com> wrote in message > news:oYLCi.82$XL5.6@newsfe04.lga... > > I'm new to WindowsXP, from Win98SE.

Guest Smirnoff Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Re: Tempory Internet Files I stand corrected. I know I had to access Content.IE5 and remember now that I had to type: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 in Win Explorer address bar and click GO "Newbie Coder" <newbiecoder@spammeplease.com> wrote in message news:#JGY1kf7HHA.3900@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Smirnoff, > > No, you don't have to untick the system files/folders option.

Guest Smirnoff Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Re: Tempory Internet Files Sorry, should have added that OP was trying to use Win Explorer to see files. I know that when I entered the path below, all I saw in Content.IE5 was an index file. I had to show system files to see further sub-folders.
