Very puzzling. Appreciate any help/ideas anyone may have.
I've been patching xp from ms. site for the last couple of weeks. Installed
19 or 20 patches. Now, I cannot see the folders and files that Internet
Explorer (6 sp1, latest patches) uses for its cache.
These are in
D:\Documents and Settings\xxUserID\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
Folder options: show hidden files, show all files with registered extensions
and show system files. That is, show everything.
Properties for \TemporaryInternetFiles showed 90 megabytes, in eight or nine
subfolders and tens of thousands of files. Windows Explorer showed only the
top level folder which held 350 files at two megabytes. No subfolders or
the files in them. The only way I could get to the subfolders and get rid
of the files was to run Bullet Proof Folder Sizes (recommend it, distinctly
better than MSFT progs), expand the top level directory, then open the
subfolders in Explorer.
Has anyone experienced this? I am looking at it right now in Windows
Explorer: D:\Documents and Settings\xxUserId\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files. No subfolders at all. And yet they are all there, all of
those stupidly named folders. Some setting in one of the patches is
blocking the view of them, and I really want to get that view back. I am
feeling what I feel far too often (having quite a few MS certs) about
Microsoft.
Thanks much,
Mike
