Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2008Nothing in Temporary Internet Files
Hi! I've just checked in C:\Users\Myusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files and there is almost nothing. I see only around 20 files concerning cookies. I expected to see all the files concerning Web sites I browsed (gif, html, ico, flash, java, . . .). In Temporary Internet Files and History Settings, Check for newer versions of stores pages is set to Automatically. And Disk space to use is set to 50 MB. And Days to keep pages in history is set to 20. I'm running Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bits with IE7 64-bits. I have the same problem with IE7 32-bits. So my question is : why is there almost nothing in Temporary Internet Files? Thanks a lot! > Hi! > > I've just checked in > > C:\Users\Myusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files How did you get there? Unless you got there via the TIF Viewer you may have the wrong location. E.g. in IE press Alt-T,O,Alt-S,V Now what do you see? --- > and there is almost nothing. > I see only around 20 files concerning cookies. [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Thanks a lot! Hi Robert! I got there exactly as you wrote : in IE press Alt-T,O,Alt-S,V And I see only around 20 files concerning cookies. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks! >> Hi! >> [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] >> >> Thanks a lot! Hi! I unchecked the "Enable Protected mode" option on the Security tab of Internet options. Now, I see all the files. So, when the "Enable Protected mode" option is checked, it seems IE7 does not cache Web pages. Bye! > Hi Robert! > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] >>> >>> Thanks a lot! > Hi! > > I unchecked the "Enable Protected mode" option on the Security tab of > Internet options. > > Now, I see all the files. Are they still in the same location? I have seen indications that Vista may have more than one location for the TIF but I don't use it myself. > So, when the "Enable Protected mode" option is checked, > it seems IE7 does not cache Web pages. > > Bye! Ok. Thanks for the feedback. BTW I usually cross-post Vista questions to a Vista-specific newsgroup but neglected to do so this time. Perhaps someone who has that OS will comment further anyway. E.g. the TIF has always been a wrapper for a hidden implementation involving other subdirectories. So, it may be that in one mode you see some of them and in another mode you see some more. In order to test your hypothesis about whether the files are actually cached or not you could find a page which caches in one mode (e.g. you can open it again when IE is in a Working Offline state) and then retest it the same way in the other mode (regardless of whether the TIF Viewer actually shows you the same files). I.e., if the page can be rendered offline the files which it is constructed from must be cached *somewhere*. HTH Robert --- |
