Q - What can happen if the COtent IE6 (or 5) is deleted from the TIF folder?

Hi all -

"k...just for the record here, no I have not deleted mine. This is a
question to satisfy my curious about the need for the Content IE 5-6 folder
in the TIF folder, as to whether or not if it is removed for whatever
reason, would it cause problems with IE, and if so, what kind?

I thought I remembered at one time someone told me that the Content folder
should not be removed, and the clearing of TIF files should be done using
the Internet Options method. I know Mow told me to do it that way long ago,
which I do, and always recommend to others. But, now and then I run across
someone who says that there is no need for the folder and it is best to get
rid of it.

Ahmm.....and.....I have a lobster dinner riding on this, too. g

Jan,

If you delete the folder Content.IE5 it will simply be recreated the next time
the cache is accessed. Just the same as if you delete its 8 char name
sub-folders although in the latter case the new folders will have different
randomized names from those that went before.

Good. I wanted to be very clear on that. I did remember your saying once
before that it should be recreated if deleted for whatever reason, but, was
not sure if in the mean time it being missing might cause a problem.

Thank you very much for your help. Ummm...I can taste that lobster now.
:-))
