IE7 Cach dirrectory: Windows cannot access the specific device, path or file...

scottsee · 02-28-2007, 12:03 PM

This problem just presented it's self, I had been using IE7 for 2 months before showing up. I have tried everything aside from re-installing IE7 to get ride of it. Hopefully somone here can help me?

I am running Windows XP Media edition on a Dell XP laptop wtih IE7. This is my problem.

Everytime I try and open a document online I receive this error message. It dosen't matter what type of file extention it is, it will tell me I don't have access or permissions to my internet temp location.

Logged in as Administrator I have tried:

* Moving my temporary internet file dirrectory to the c:\
* Cleared my bowser histroy, cash, temp files
* setting IE7 settings back to default.

I'd love to use my laptop to view DSMlink .dat logs. Does anyone have some advice for me??

Thank-you
Scott

Hi Scott, welcome to TSF...

it may be an idea to give your profile full access to the drive which you use to store Temp Int Files?? You can use the following link for instructions:

It's titled for files/folders but the same applies when right clicking on drive icons in My Computer.

Well, thank-you for the nice welcome! When I get home from work tonght I will flip open my laptop and follow your dirrections and post a follow up for any "searcher". That is if people still do that..

Thanks..

Well, I just got home, turned on the laptop and the problem is non-existant. I didn't do anything. Just went away.

I have no idea what was going on..
