Get Temporary Internet Files Location

Hello,
I'm writing an applet for which it would be useful to have "temporary-ish" storage.
What I mean by this is, it would be good to store some settings so that the next time the applet is loaded, I might be able to re-load them. If they're not there it's no major issue.
GetTempFile() and would be perfect except it produces a unique name, which is tricky when I want to recover my file again at some later date!
Ideally, I want a function which tells me a directory where it is safe to write on the current platform, and which isn't automatically flushed at the end of the session (so on NT, C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files would be perfect, or perhaps some JVM-specific temporary location?)
Thanks for any assistance you can give,
Chris

Cookies sound ideal for the job, but unfortunately
no, I don't know how to use them at the moment.Could
you elaborate?Actually not at the moment, as applets are not my
thing. But I'm sure the object hierarchy lets you
deal with cookies, and I at least wanted to start
pointing you in the right direction (hopefully).I don't know about accessing cookies from applets but you certainly can access cookies from JavaScript and you can have JavaScript talk to an applet (even just by having it write out param tags to your source.

How can we change the default folder location (avoiding problems with Temporary Internet Files)

(Environment in question: Windows 7 secure desktop (running as user not admin), Office 2010)
Hello,
As has been touched on in various forums (such as here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/797451), when one opens a PDF attachment in Outlook, Acrobat and Reader store the file in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder (f/k/a OLK folder in previous versions of Outlook. There are two major problems with this:
First, as Microsoft has documented in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817878, attachments end up here staying here under certain conditions (go checks your now, you'll find some!), which ends up being a file attachment no man's land, and that can present security risks (e.g. if data we thought was deleted still lives in that folder).
Secondly, the first time you open an attachment in Acrobat and do a Save As, Acrobat is defaulting to the Temporary Internet Files location. This folder (as noted in the thread linked above) is ridiculously hard to get to for the average user, so they can end up storing a file and then losing it.
We've found that if we open Acrobat once, do a save as, and change to the users Documents folder, the change sticks. But how can we have Acrobat default to Documents instead of that temporary location?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you check to see if Acrobat sets a registry entry or file preference for the first Save As? That's where I would start looking. Process Monitor is a good tool for this.

When creating PDF I get message "This file was saved to the Temporary Internet Files Folder"

about 80% of the time when I am creating a PDF Document using the Print to Adobe function I get the following message:

"Do you want to open this folder?"
It doesn't matter if I say yes I want to open the folder or not I can never locate the file.
I am using Vista Ultimate 32. for an operating system.
I have the following programs installed too:

Thank you for your help. I have looked everywhere and I'm lost.

You can get the same results (as turning protected mode off) by:
(presuming you have an icon for Internet Explorer on your desktop or taskbar) -- right click the icon and pick "Run as administrator"
I've got the same problem printing to pdf (Acrobat v8; problem's only in IE7) on a Dell Optiplex/Vista Business desktop machine (though not my T61/Vista Ultimate Thinkpad laptop) and the above resolves the issue for my desktop machine. Certainly not a fix but perhaps a clue to Adobe developers, on the [slim?] chance they read these posts.

How can I get Full PDF file in temporary Internet Files folder when a PDF is opened in IE?

when a URL displaying a PDF file(http://www.google.com/Test.pdf) in internet explorer is done, the PDF file is opened in Microsoft internet explorer itself. But I observe one thing. i.e., If the PDF file is created with acrobat distiller the the PDF file opened on IE is fully obtained in Temporary Internet files, and if the PDF file is created with other than acrobat distiller(i.e., created using other PDF tools), then if the same file, then only a part of PDF(10KB-50KB) is obtained in Temporary internet files folder, and remaining is obtained by Acrxxxx.tmp in C:\Documents and Settings\Current UserName\Local Settings\temp folder. why this is happening?
consider the total size of file as 1.5MB.
In my PC, I had Adobe reader 8.1 and IE6.

Yes, I was seeing the difference between PDFs that are linearized. I had unchecked that option, still I can't get the Full PDF in temporary Internet files folder.
Are there any more settings to be changed.
Why only for some files this is happening, What was the difference b/w the files which are fully obtained in temporary internet files folder and that are of not fully obtained.

When I try to download and install iTunes I get this message...Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\iTuens64Setup(1).exe is not a valid Win32 application

Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\itunes64Setup(1).exe is not a valid Win32 application

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Location/directory used by JRE, for saving the temporary Internet files

Hello sir,
I am working on a project( in JavaFX ) which takes the URL of a streaming FLV video( eg: http://sun.edgeboss.net/download/sun/media/1460825906/1460825906_11810873001_09c01923-00.flv ) as input and plays it in Media Player component.
I have successfully played the streaming video, by taking the aid of sample project, Media Box( http://javafx.com/samples/MediaBox/ ).
Now I am interested in knowing the location/directory, where these temporary Internet files will be downloaded to. Please let me know, the location/directory used by JRE( on both Windows and Linux ) for saving the temporary Internet files. Also let me know, if there is any possibility of changing that location/directory.
Thanks for any help, in advance.

You should avoid posting the same message multiple times...
By definition, streaming is supposed to play the received movie data on the fly, without intermediary file. Now, it depends on implementation, if that's real streaming, etc., so in practice there might be a temp file, or not.
But this temp location will be, obviously, highly dependent on the current system (even between WinXP and Win7, for example). You can find the answer experimentally, eg. on Windows by using Sysinternals' Process Monitor application (did that to find out where Storage files go), but it is brittle.
I doubt there is (an official) way to know that from within the JavaFX application...

After downloading PSE 13, receive error message cannot open windows temporary internet files

After downloading Photoshop elements 13, I receive an error message as it tries to open (but instead opens my PSE 9 application) and this message appears: "cannot open C:Users\Spears\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.1E5\AV8ZNMD1\Photoshop Elements_13_LS25_win64.7z"
I have been trying various fixes to download this for 2 days now. Can someone please help me?
Thanks!

Did you check if the Firefox file is in that location?
If it isn't there then do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
If the file is there then do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Temporary Internet Files Settings. Sun JVM 1.5.0_05

Hiya
We are migrating our Oracle Forms 6i (Client-Server) application to web based Oracle Forms 10g. This is a 3 tier architecture. The application runs using Java Applet (Sun JRE 1.5.0_05) in Internet Explorer on Windows XP.
Oracle Forms 10g uses Java classes for its own purpose which Oracle has supplied them in a JAR files.
Oracle recommends that we should cache these JAR files onto the client machine in order to load the application faster.
We have followed that recommendation. The application is working well and the JAR files are also getting cached onto the client machine.
So far so good. But the real problem begins now.
On Windows XP, the Sun JRE caches these JAR files under the users' profiles settings. Precisely the path reads as below:
Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application data\Sun\Java\Deployment\Cache\javaapi\v1.0\jar
Storing these files has got two disadvantages:
1) Traffic, Bandwidth and Time : Since our users have got the roaming profile, all the files under their profile moves with their Login into Windows and log-off from Windows. Not only does this traffic incur network round trip between a PC and server, it also consumes the precious bandwidth and considerable amount of time when they login into the Windows.
2) Storage Space : As per our oraganisation's policy, each user's profile is allocated 8MB of space. The total size of all the JAR files is about 4MB which leaves them with almost no space in their profile and it frequently pops-up an annoying message *"You have exceeded your profile storage space...".*
The solution to above two problems is that we store these JAR files into some other folder for e.g. C:\temp.
Changing the location of Temporary files can be done in two ways:
Solution 1) Either by going to Java Control Panel -> General tab -> Temporary Internet Files -> Settings.
OR
Solution 2) By going into deployment.properties file which resides under the Documents and Settings\<userid>\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment folder.
However, Solution 1 is not feasible considering we have got more than 1000 users. Hence it is ruled out.
Solution 2 is also not feasible since deployment.properties file gets created ONLY after the Java applet is loaded first time when the user hits URL of our application.
In view of the limitations of above two solutions, we are looking for the Registry settings of Sun JRE in which we can specify the location of temporary files for Java.
While Googling for the Registry key, I found that in the previous version of Sun JRE i.e. 1.4.2, there was a registry key called USER_JPI_PROFILE.
I tried creating this environment variable in the Registry but it didn't work. I suppose that Sun has de-supported this environment variable with the version 1.5.
Our application has not gone into production yet. But the above two issues pose a serious threat to the implementation of our application.
So here comes my question to you. Is there any Registry settings you are aware of that serves my purpose ?
Also, other than the Registry Settings, if by any other means my original problem (storing the temp. files in other folder) could be resolved, please let me know.
Any of your ideas/suggestions/help will be much appreciated and are most welcome.
Thank you for your time for reading such a long thread !!
Cheers

Temporary Internet Files (Vista)

Where are the Temporary Internet Files in Vista.
I've been updating flash files on the web but my browsers
keep loading the
original files (same file names)
In Win XP Almost everything browsed on the web was downloaded
to
C:\Documents & Settings\User\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\
But I cant find the Vista equivalent. If I look in the
Temporay Internet
Files folder that is accessed through Vista's Internet
Options panel, all I
find is cookies. If I use the Delete Temporary Files button
in Vista it
doesn't seem to change anything.
I just keep getting the original Flash in the browser. Where
is the web
content downloaded to?

You can find the location of the cache on the about:cache page (open that page via the location bar like a website). 
Only large image and media files are stored as individual files on disk. 
Other files are stored in a few large container files (_CACHE_XXX_) in the cache folder and not as separate files on disk. 
The individual files on disk have random names without a file extension for security reasons: you can't open an application or start a downloaded virus inadvertently by clicking a file in the cache folder. 
You can look at this extension for easier access to files in the cache.

Empty Temporary Internet Files not working with IE9

Hey everyone. I have an issue in my domain environment where the "Empty Temporary Internet files folder when browser is closed" is enabled but not actually working for pc's that have IE9.
I have configured this policy in both Computer Config and User Config on separate occasions to see if it would work but it just doesn't for users IE9. My domain is still a Server 2003 domain and I manage group policy through the RSAT Tool Group Policy
Management on my machine. All machines in my environment are Windows 7 x64 with IE9 except for a few with IE11. The funny thing is the computers with IE11 (like myself) the GPO works great. The temporary files get
flushed whenever I close my browser. Unfortunately everyone with IE9 the settings say they are applied but they do not work. I was wondering if it had something to do with the inetres.admx files on my pc since I use IE11. Anyone have any
ideas why the policy would only work for IE11 browsers instead of all browsers?
The temporary IE folders are in the default locations and I noticed that the IE9 users can't navigate to the content.ie5 directory as well. When entering content.ie5 in path they can get to it and when clicking on the random directory's it prompts you
with a windows security warning.
Any help or guidance would be great. Thanks!

How to retreive images and xml stored in temporary internet files

hi all,
I am creating an air application that has to work in offline too.so i have decided to retrieve datas it from temporary internet files(is it a rightway or anyother way to do that if so pls suggest). I have an issues of retreiving images and xml stored in the temporary internet files of the user system ..can anybody help me and give solution for this..
regards,
Divya.

What software are you using to create the website? Perhaps there is some command you can implement on the website to force the entire file to be downloaded. If you use Dreamweaver, you might ask in that forum. If you make the link an ftp link rather than a http link, you might guarantee that the file will be downloaded in its entirety, but the download location will not necessarily be in a temp folder.

IE 11 Temporary Internet Files Settings

Hello!
I want to set IE settings for everyone in my company to the desired goal.
This is the desired goal.
Open IE.
Tools -> Internet Options -> General -> Settings.
I want under Temporary Internet Files:
Check for newer version of stored pages to be Every time I visit the webpage
and
Disk Space to use to be 8mb
Initially I tried to set this using a GPO but I have not found anything to do this
for IE 11 in my research.
I figured instead I could also have a simple script run on all the computers every day to set the settings.
I found I can run this for the 'Check for newer versions of stored pages' setting and it does the trick:
Just changing SyncMode5 to 3
reg add "HKCU\software\microsoft\Windows\CurrrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0" /v SyncMode5 /t REG_DWORD /d 00000003 /f
I then try to do something similar for the 'Disk space to use'
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Content" /v CacheLimit /t REG_DWORD /d 8192 /f
This changes the appropriate Registry Key if I look at the Registry editor, but then I pull up Internet Options -> settings and see that the "disk space to use" has not changed.
If I then Manually change this to a different amount of MB I can go to the registry editor and see the same registry key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Content\CacheLimit has changed.
I figure there must be another key to be changed. A lot of places online say to change the
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Content\CacheLimit
but that didn't even exist. I tried to make it, and set the appropriate registry key, and that did not work either.
or
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\ContentLimit
and that worked the same way -- manual changes from IE options show here, but when I change in regEdit it doesn't get changed in IE.
Any advise on how to manage the companies settings, or how to set the Registry Key would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Temporary Internet Files

I am new to this forum and new to MAC. I have a used PowerBook G4, with MAC OS 10.4.7. My issue is this, the other day I got a notice that I only had a minimal amount of Memory left, even though I have not downloaded anything and I do not create documents that take up a large capacity of space. My roommate who sold me the MAC said something about deleting Temporary Internet Files, I know how to do this on a PC with Explorer, but this computer doesn't have Explorer. I don't know what the deal is. I deleted a large bit of info, mainly all my iTunes to get back up to more than 2GB, well in just two days of only being on the internet and nothing else, I am down to 1.5GB. Where is my memory going and how do I get it back? Can anyone help me. I would really appreciate it. If you could send me your responses to my email address~ [email protected] Thank you for all the help you can provide!

How do I change the directory where Firefox stores temporary internet files?

Delete temporary Internet files

Windows 2008 R2
Win 7
Win Xp
Under "user config\preferences\windows settings\folder" Created 2 folders to delete Temporary Internet files with with 1 targeting Windows 7 and the other targeting windows xp.
Here the the path for windows 7: C:\Users\%localappdata%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
Here is the path for xp: C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
However, temporary internet files not being deleted. Are my paths correct and are my enviroment variables correct. thanks

> XP:
>
> %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
> W7:
> %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
>
W7: %LocalAppdata%\Microsoft\[and so on...]
Smartest solution: Use Item Level Targeting on the content of a registry
value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell
Folders:Cache
Put that content in a variable and use this variable as target path for
your folder ;-)
Works on each OS that supports GPP.
But things may get hard when deleting the "Low" folder - so why not
simply use
