Preventing deletion of .tmp files

[Guest djs0302@aol.com]

Is there any way to prevent a website from deleting its .tmp files

when you exit the website? If I try to copy the files I get a this

file is in use and cannot be copied message but as soon as I leave the

website the .tmp files are automatically deleted. I've tried changing

the attributes to read only and I've also tried denying the system the

ability to delete files in the temp folder. Neither solution worked.

I'm using IE 6.

 

Thanks

I suspect it's not the websites that are deleting the temp files, it's IE.

 

See

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/using/howto/customizing/clearcache.mspx

 

Go to the Tools menu, and click Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab. In

the "Settings" box, scroll down to the section labeled "Security," and click

to check the box next to the "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when

browser is closed" option. Click OK to finish. This option does not delete

cookies, but it will clear your cache of other files when you close your

browser.
