Temporary Internet files: where & how to move on?

How can I determine where (path/folder name) Internet Explorer stores TIF (Temporary Internet Files) as I navigate? And how do I move this TIF folder if I want to?

I have two drives... C:\ is an SSD (programs and applications)... E:\ is a traditional HARD disk (user data).

I worry that if Windows 7 puts this TIF folder (whatever it's called) on the SSD by default. Chips Flash memory having a finite number of write cycles, I'd rather have the TIF folder on the spinning HARD drive, magnetic.

Take a look on:

(display as an icon, no category) [general] tab.

Under "Browsing history" click on the [Settings] button.

I think the info you need is here.

  • With Windows XP SP3: How to find the temporary Internet files in C:\Documents and Settings of the user?

    While making a sweep of the AV, I see the files under analysis I want to remove it from my computer. All I can remember for the location of the files is C:\Documents and Settings of the user... I guess that the question is what will be called as temporary Internet files (under Windows 95). What should I do to access the folder where the files are stored?

    Tools / folder options. Discover tab show hidden and protected system files

    Use ccleaner do... Install, then run it.

  • Virtualized temporary Internet Files eat up disk space. How can I stop this?

    Have encountered a problem of memory on my C drive and the holding of all recommendations usual cleaning only manages to free a few hundred MB. My hard drive is partitioned into a C and an E drive (each with 116 GB). I use Vista and Internet Explorer. (As far as I know, this is not a problem of RAM and my computer to not walk slowly.)

    The number of programs and files on my C drive not could represent almost 116 GB of memory, but I could find no other possible reason for my low disk space... until...

    I went to the guest orders and managed to do list all in the C drive. Then I spotted a directory which seems to contain a HUGE 94 GB of memory on the C drive. The exact name/address was as follows: C:\users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\FLVService. The list of files in this directory have been mainly youtube and almost all the other videos I've seen last year! (This folder does not appear in Windows Explorer.)

    Then, these videos are stored in virtual memory? They take place that much space? (The term 'virtual' throws me a bit). I can delete this file safely and how? And, finally, how to stop what is happening yet?

    So, thank you for reading this far and I would be really grateful for any help on this matter.

    Kevin.

    What problem you encounter when you try to delete the files?  FreeCorder has some options, you can use to purge or otherwise control the cache / repository it uses? That seems to be the easiest way to get rid of files and recover disk space.  Otherwise, uninstall (and reinstall maybe later) may present you with an option to clear the cache, the program uses.

  • Where can I find temporary Internet files?

    I can't find something and search my computer can not find anything!

    Hi Danni Gonza,
     
    -Why exactly you are looking for temporary internet files?
     
    Temporary Internet files are stored in the following location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
    To view these files, you must check the option to show the hidden files and folders.
    See the following article to do the same thing:

    «.. . 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?

  • 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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones View Cookies and temporary internet files

    Two weeks ago, my girlfriend used my phone to access the Internet and find a pair of shoes she liked.  I've searched and searched and have no idea where I can find this information on my phone.  I think, at the very least, there are some temporary internet files that I'd be able to see and perhaps refine what she was watching.

    In short, I would like to know if it is possible to examine the files generated from research conducted on the internet.  I hope I can amaze with the shoes, but I just have no idea how to access data from the browser on my phone.
