Where have Temporary Internet Files & Cookies gone??

[Guest nic]

Temporary Internet Files & Cookies do not appear in respective folders.

I perform clean up's regularly and when going to folders for cookies and

temp internet files there's nothing there.

Where are they?

Which folders?

Even when applying "show hidden files & folders" and unchecking box "do not

hide protected operating system files" there are no cookies or temporary

internet files.

 

Can someone please tell me where they are?

 

Thank you in anticipation.

Sometimes those folders automatically redirect into the User temp

folder. In some cases utilities that forcibly close any open File Handles

will cause XP to re-establish them in the Temp folder. Cookies should

always be present in the "Permanent" Cookies path of the profile. When

the user is logged in the cookies are copied into the TIF.

Run the REGEDIT.EXE program and locate the following registry key:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

 

On the right side of the screen will be the word: ExcludeProfileDirs

 

Double-click that word, and backspace out all the text in the Value Data

box that will be displayed. Click OK, then close REGEDIT.EXE and reboot

your system. You will now be able to see the Cookies, History, and

Temporary Internet Files directories.
