temp internet files

webber9966 · 01-23-2006, 07:24 PM

I was wondering if some one could tell me why my temp internet folder is not logging my visited web sites. When I turn on to my computer it will log only my home page and then if I browse the internet it will not log any other pages. Just wondering. Thanks

Could it be that you may be looking in the wrong folder?

Documents and Settings/Your user name/local settings/temperary internet files.

I am looking in the right folder. It will log my home page and some other sites that I go to and then it will stop logging any thing else.

This seems rather odd to say the least.

Curious to know what your settings are concerning the size that your temp directory is set at?

Also, are viewing this folder after you have exited/closed IE?

My temp directory is set at 921mb and I am viewing this folder while IE is open.

I'm not sure what to tell you. I have researched this at Microsofts Support pages, and at Technet without any luck.

When you checked on the size of the folder, there are 4 choices to set for how IE uses this folder. Is your set to automatic? Outside of that, this is what I'd recommend.

I would use the add/remove programs in control to panel to click on removing IE. You will be given a choice to remove or "repair". I didn't know of the repair option while working on another compter with a unrelated problem, but the repair feature corrected the problems that I was having. You could give this a try, or actually remove IE and then reinstall from the web.

921M in my opinion is way too large, even if you are dealing with dial-up connection. I would recommend anywhere from 75-250M.

One last thing before doing anything...are you using AOL, or another customized version of IE. I ask only because the default directory could be located somewhere else!
