Find my temporary folder - NOT the Temporary Internet Files folder

Where can I find the temporary files folder? I'm not looking for the Temporary Internet Files folder but the temporary file folder. I recently downloaded a digital purchase from a Web site on my computer. Normally, I can right click and select Save target as and select the folder where I want to save it. But, for some reason any this site does not allow me to do this process. So I have to click on the download button and it starts to save the file in my folder for temporary files. I'll watch the Internet Temp folder - package not there. Then, I noticed there is a folder Temp basic - but for the life of me - I can't find? I tried to do a search advaced on my computer to find the file - it takes hours. I don't have the time to sit here and look for the file - do not to seem pretentious - but it is taking my business time. 1 can anyone tell me where to find the folder for temporary files? and 2. Anyone know how I can change when the files are automatically uploaded? I know you used to be able to do it via IE and tools. But I do not see this option. Any help will be appreciated!

The following article tells you where it is and how to clean it (if it's of any interest):http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/104637-temporary-files-temp-folder.html.

As far as downloads go, everyone I did always asked me if I want to run the file or save it, and if I select save it allows me to access the location of my choice.  I've never had one who just downloaded without any warning to some place that he chose.  The following article can help you by setting a default value or revise the value default or the fixing of the problem presented no option (even if it is by reference to another article):http://unlockforus.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-to-find-or-specify-download.html.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    Hello

    There is no other choice to extract the file from the computer.

    However, you can use your favorite search engine and look for any third party software that can help you recover the file.

    Note: Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be resolved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

    I've attached a scan to an email, but it says "could not open the file C:\users\My Windows\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows |" Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\TQDLSO1A\etc, etc.

    I'm probably not explaining my problem fairly - well, I scanned something in - I used Nuance Paperport.  I have it attached to an email and sent to six people - including myself.  I always open the attached file to make sure that the computer has sent the right thing.  When I tried to open the attachment I got the message "cannot open the file - I have already sent you."  I think that Norton Security got rid of the file I need.  I think I will contact them.  I tried to contact Nuance - but alas, my warranty has expired, so no help there unless I want to pay for it.  If I can't have the problem solved through Norton, I will contact you again.  Thank you very much for taking the time to try to help me.  Have a great Thanksgiving action!

    ================================================
    Your explanation was nice... that was my answer that failed.

    I was hoping that you would simply copy the scan of your temporary
    Internet files folder and paste it on your desktop. Then you might
    evaluate what is the problem. I thought that trying to open
    with such a long way email could be a problem. And also... it's possible
    be a file association problem. And it could be a matter of file size.

    I understand that you care why the attachment to the email
    failure and I think you need to find what is the problem with the scan
    before fastening will be successful.

  • Can't see hidden files to delete in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

    C:\Documents and Settings\William\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files folder there are more than 135,000 files; nearly 2,000 cases and close to 3 GB of data. These files do not display and I can't remove them by deleting temporary Internet files. When I try to see the files to help to locate hidden files, only three very small files appear. How can I delete these files? Can I delete the folder and create a new one?

    William

    You can also enter your options Internet Explorer (via Control Panel), on the general tab, in the browsing history, there should be a settings button, once there, you should be able to select Show files in the temporary Internet files section.  Who will open the file for you and you can do CTRL + A (select all), and then delete.

    Some of the files in the folder may be used, and if they are in use, you will not be able to remove them.  You will need to know what is their use, cannot be used, then delete them.

  • The temporary Internet files folder

    How can I clean a Temporary Internet Files folder properties shows a 21.5 MB content but nothing appears in the tree of files?

    «.. . and says disk cleanup I could free 2 k of disk in dealing with internet Temp files. yipeee... »

    I agree, 2 k of cleanup seems not even the time it takes to run Disk Cleanup. Personally, I've never used the feature in private so I can't comment on that, maybe, someone experienced with it will post more information.

    Maybe the free version of CCleaner utility can help with your files not found. I use it on all my machines and have seen it recommended countless times in this forum as well as others.

    CCleaner
     http://www.Piriform.com/CCleaner

    CCleaner is very effective for not only erase the temporary Internet files, but also other temporary files, caches and other accumulated junk.

    If you decide to try, by default most everything on Windows and tabs Applications are checked to be cleaned. You must first carefully consider this list (it's compiled by what you have installed) and check/uncheck accordingly.

    Then, click analyze to see what will be removed (nothing is deleted when you click Analyze); When the scan is finished you can double-click on (or right-click and select view detailed results) none of the entries in the list to get more information.

    In the detailed view of the results, you can right click on options such as Add to exclusion list if you want the deleted item.

    Once you are completely comfortable with your selections you can click the Run Cleaner button, and then click OK to the warning before running the vacuum cleaner.

    CCleaner also has a registry cleaner, which I do not recommend the use - unless you are a very experienced user and understand the possible consequences and take the necessary precautions. Registry cleaners, either free or commercial, IMO expose a user to a very high risk of creating serious problems and, eventually, a system that won't start.

    The Tools section has also two useful functions, Startup and System Restore.

    The start feature is very useful in managing what programs start when Windows starts (although I personally prefer Windows Sysinternals Autoruns for Windows). However, no matter which boot manager you can use, it is always better to consider Options a program, preferences, settings, etc., to prevent them from starting at boot time before resorting to a Boot Manager.

    Autoruns for Windows
     http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

    CCleaner System Restore feature is excellent to remove older restoration that you no longer want to keep or need points. Sometimes this can free up a lot of disk space. However, it is not recommended to delete all THE restore points that you don't want in the future.

    Since you're under Windows XP SP3, there is one last point I want to mention if you try to recover hard disk space, it is the removal of the Programs uninstall of patches. This can sometimes release a significant amount of disk space. When Windows is selected in the cleaner section with the tab, you will see down under Advanced patches uninstallers.

    These files contain the uninstall information for each update of Microsoft that install. This means that you will not be able to uninstall the updates if you delete these folders. You can leave here unless you have need of available disk space. If your system is stable, and if you intend to uninstall an update is no longer, so go ahead and remove the $NtUninstall... corresponding records. Or you can move these files to another hard drive or burn them to CD before you delete the hard drive.

    The above is an excerpt from the next page, and it is recommended that these files be saved on an external before deleting as shown in the snippet above.

    What are the $NTUninstall files? Can they be deleted?

  • Cannot delete cookies in the Temporary Internet Files folder

    I use Windows Vista and HP has this laptop screwed up so I can't navigate to certain folders. I have 10 cookies in my folder of temporary internet files that I can't remove. Even if I go to the cmd prompt as administrator it doesn't let me access the folder. In fact when I go to cmd it opens by default in the directory main I need it, but when I type dir\ that it lists only a few so I type dir/a to see them all, but even after that now it doesn't let me in next dir saying the system cannot find the path. What can I do?

    Download ccleaner run it then go to cleaner / click on run cleaner. First close the browsers

    Win7, in the folder "Options Internet", the option 'Delete temporary Internet files' crashes without finishing. I have clean the system helps daily IOF, disk cleanup, SuperAntispyware and Malwarebytes.

    The cycle to remove the Temp Int files just hangs. IE will not open a usual address in the suite. Is this a bug/virus or can it be a simple solution?

    First of all, you cause you a lot of problems with several anti-virus running.  Malwarebytes and Super Antispyware are two AVs. Keep only one installed.

    Scan with ADWcleaner: https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/ better and faster than Malwarebytes.

    You may have a damaged disc.  Run the chkdsk command.

    1. Start the globe
    2. All programs
    3. Accessories
    4. Right-click on command prompt and choose Run as administrator
    5. in the box, type chkdsk c: /r
    6. Accept (y) to run at next boot
    7. Restart

    This may take 1-3 hours.

    If this does not resolve the problem, reset IE

    Tools, Internet Options, advanced, reset.  Click on the 2ndary reset button too.

    The folder Temporary Internet Files (or cache) is used by Windows Internet Explorer and MSN Explorer to store the contents of the Web page on the hard drive of the computer for a quick consultation. This cache permits Internet Explorer or MSN Explorer download only content that has changed since you last time a Web page, rather than download all content of every time that the page is displayed.

  • What is the Antiphising folder in Temporary Internet Files?

    Hello!

    Can you explain the function of the file Antiphising in Temporary Internet Files and what he presents the .dat file that appears whenever I go into Internet Explorer 11?

    Jeremy

    Hi Jeremy,.

    The anti-phishing directory is created when the of Internet Explorer Phishing filter is enabled. If you disable this filter, which is entirely up to you, it will probably disappear. Whatever it is, this isn't anything that will cause harm and in fact, so there is nothing to worry about.

  • How can I access temporary Internet files for the site that I have visited, it must be stored somewhere.

    Microsoft IE, I can access temporary Internet files through tools / Internet Options / browsing history, where I can find all the site, the pages and photos that I visited sorted by date or type or other.
    This feature I couldn't understand where in Firefox or if it is available or not.
    However, Firefox is amazing and I would like if you can provide this option

    In Firefox, it is called the cache, for more details of this kind of situation topic: cache in the address bar and press to enter.

    For security reasons, the files in the cache are given random file names, so it is hard to see the content. CacheViewer etension can be useful for you.
