Content.IE5

Yea, as Terhune says, delete any that is not the current TIF folder. I
had THREE of them once...!...

(1) C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
(2) C:\Windows\Temp\Temporary Internet Files
(3) C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files

Could be, when you upgraded IE, you chose to be able to revert back. I
guess, if you do, you get ancient TIFs along with your previous IE.
Well, here is what I did...

(a) "Control Panel, Internet Options, Settings button"
Where does it say Temporary Internet Files are located?
That is the REAL & current one.
(b) "START, Find, F/F".
(c) Enter "Tempor~1" (no quotes) in "Named".
(d) Click the "Advanced" button, & use the dropdown to select
"Folder".
(e) Then click the "Find Now" button.
If you have more than one "Temporary Internet Files" folder, you
may delete the one's that are not current.

Then, if TIFs are not where you want them, here's how to move it to
"C:\Windows\"...

1. Close all open windows, except Internet Properties if still open.
2. "Control Panel, Internet Options, Settings button"
3. Click "Move Folder"
4. In "Browse for Folder" requestor:
a. Click plus to left of C:
b. Highlight "Windows"
c. Click OK
5. It will ask; give it permission to re-boot

After this, if you already had a set in the destination folder, it may
not have been wiped completely. Therefore...

"Control Panel, Internet Options, Delete Files button, check 'Delete all
offline content', OK, Apply, OK". May as well click to clear "History"
while there.

Now, TIFs are where you want them, and all is well with the world.
Better check on it now/then, though, as mine have snuck back to
"C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings" twice-- probably after taking an IE
Cumulative at Windows Update,-- although the later ones haven't done
that.

Note that when you change the Temporary Internet Files location, you want to
select the *parent* folder where you want "Temporary Internet Files" to be
created. Example:

Point to C:\Windows and the following will be created upon restarting IE:
C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files.

Point to C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files and the following will be
created:
C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Temporary Internet Files\

Absolutely, as I found out the hard way at least one of the times I did
it! Although I think I had it covered,...

4. In "Browse for Folder" requestor:
a. Click plus to left of C:
b. Highlight "Windows"
c. Click OK

....it doesn't hurt to stress it. It was really an ugly sight to see
TIF's inside TIF's!
