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 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

IE11 Temporary Internet Files Settings GPO

Hello,
I´ve created a GPO to decrease the Temporary Internet Files Amount from the default 250 MB to the desired 50 MB. In this GPO I changed the default registry settings "CacheLimit" under "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\5.0\Cache\Content" to the 50 MB.
After the user logged on i checked the registry to verify if rhe gpo is applied successfully, and the value was changed correctly to 50 MB. However, after starting the Internet Explorer and checking the properties, the default value of 250 MB space appears.
Refreshing the registry reveals that my 50 MB setting was simply overwritten to the default value of 250 MB after starting Internet Explorer.
Why is this happening and how can i prevent that?
thanks & bye

Hi,
Could you please have a share with the network environment and the IE version?
To increase the Disk space used in temporary Internet Files, we should configure the following two registries:
1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Content
Change the CacheLimit value to the size you want (change the Base to Decimal);
2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Content
Change the CacheLimit value to the same size in step one.
Please check if the above could solve the issue.

GPO Disk space to use (8-1024 MB) for Temporary Internet Files and History Settings

I am trying to create a GPO that will allow me to specify 1024 (MB) for Disk space to use to go to IE, the General Tab, Settings,
In the box below there is a box fo Disk space to use. There is a GPO for this under...
User configuration, windows settings, Internet Explorer Maintenance, (use preferred mode) Corporate Settings, Temporary Internet Files, (I select for the settings) Every visit to the page
Set amount of disk space to use (in MB)
It maxes out at 256 MB - I tried to manually adjust this but it does not work....
I tried to adjust some equivalent registry entries for under content, cachelimit (decimal) 102400 but it did not work.
Any ideas how to adjust it so that it will allow to use 1024 MB? I tried just about everything....

Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
Before going further, what’s the operating systems of our server and client?
As far as I know, we have to use customized .adm or .admx file to reset the maximum size of IE cache size.
If our server is Window Server 2003 and client is Windows XP, we can refer to the following thread for the customized .adm file.
GPO for IE Disk Space Cache

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.

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.

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

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).<br />
Only large image and media files are stored as individual files on disk.<br />
Other files are stored in a few large container files (_CACHE_XXX_) in the cache folder and not as separate files on disk.<br />
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.<br />
You can look at this extension for easier access to files in the cache.

I want to delete temporary internet files. Notice I did not say clear the cache. That does not work! How can I delete the temp files? Why did you take that feature away? VERY frustrating that you would do that!

I search for how to delete temp int files and keep coming up with the "clear cache" crap. That is not what I searched for. Clear cache does NOT delete the temp files. Why would you take that feature away??

The Windows temporary internet files folder isn't used directly by Firefox. Firefox uses its own cache folder and you can see its current usage on the about:cache page via the location bar.
If anything does show up in the temporary internet files folder then it is likely caused by using MS plugins like the Windows Media Player or Silverlight. You need to clear that folder via IE or the control panel (internet settings).

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!

Temporary Internet Files in Java Application

Hello,
I would like to know how to use "Temporary Internet Files" in a Java application.
When I make a Java Applet that fetch some internet files and launch it from internet browsers,
the fetched files are cached in "C:\Documents and Settings\***\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0"
as "Temporary Internet Files". However when I launch it from Applet Viewer in eclipse or use the
fetching code from a Java application, no files are cached in the directory.
Is it possible to enabling cache with a Java application?
Here is the test code I used.
final String USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)" ;
String urlString = "http://www.abysse.co.jp/japan/pref/images/hokkaido4.jpg";
URL url = new URL( urlString );
URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput( true );
conn.setRequestProperty( "User-Agent", USER_AGENT );
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
byte[] jpgBytes = new byte[conn.getContentLength()];
in.readFully(jpgBytes);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C:\\httpoutap.jpg");
fos.write(jpgBytes);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
fos = null;Edited by: mirror_j on Jan 28, 2009 12:22 AM

I would like to know what the caching feature is build in.As I said "You cannot enable it as it is not a built in feature."
This is not strictly correct. You can use LinkedHashMap for a simple cache, but its not a persisted cache so wouldn't be very useful for you.
I suggest you look at using ehcache. It free and widely used.

New Temporary Internet Files folder being created.

For weeks I have been puzzled by new Temporary Internet Files,Cookies and History folders constantly reappearing in my Windows XP Local Settings/Temp folder.
My normal TIF etc folders are still functioning normally in Local Settings. So no harm is being done but it's been annoying the hell out of me.
Today, quite by chance, I've discovered that the culprit is Adobe Reader X. 10.1.2. The act of simply opening Reader immediately creates these TIF folders within my temp folder.
I say immediately but it does take about 15 seconds after Reader opens on the screen before the TIF folders appear in the temp folder.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can go about resolving it?
Many thanks.

While it is recommended to define your External Application URL via SSL (if possible), due to the requirement for the credentials to be posted from the client, the interim page has to be in the clear in order to post the values to the external server (the communication here will be encrypted via SSL). Short of turning off local caching of documents (not really a solution) there is no immediate solution, as even setting a "no-cache" directive on the page will not guarantee that it will not be cached (browsers do not always honour this!).
Never the less, if you are actually finding this to be an issue please log an enhancement request with Oracle Support. As there a significant period between posts I would be interested to know if people have actually run into this directly.

Temporary Internet Files/Cookies missing

So i dont know what happened but my Temp Internet files disk space is set to 0 which is really weird since it can be only set 8-1024 mb. and when i try to change the number for it, the pop up comes up and says the size has to be between 8 to 8. so i change
to 8 and it is really really small but after i click ok and go back it is set to 0 again. so none of my cookies or files get saved. I have relog into my mails very often and i even get logged out while i am using it. (fail to send emails and etc.) it isnt
just emails but others too. Anyone got a clue what i should try? I never seen this before..

Hello japtic,
The Temporary Internet Files Disk space to use is automatically changed to 0?
And you get pop up the size can be between 8 to 8?
Please try to reset Internet Explorer and then check if the issue still exists.

Cannot access Temporary Internet Files

Hello;
I am logged on with admin privs, I run Windows Explorer as admin, and have set security properties for all folders, yet I still cannot get access to my OWN Temporary Internet Files folder.
Sure, I have just come over to Win7 from XP Pro, and there is a huge difference in security, but I have always thought that when you are the computer's administrator, you have access to ALL files and folders.
My computer is not a member of a domain at this time.
I know that I can delete the files through IE, and by Disk Cleanup, so it's more curiosity than anything else that I need to know this.
I already own the Windows7 Resource kit, but so far I cannot find anything in there about this.
Thanks for your help

You should have access here...
even a standard user has access here (they have to or they could not really use I.E.)
C:\Users\<User_name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\
The following folders that in win7 user profile are shortcuts.
"Documents and Settings" and "Application Data", "Cookies", "Local Settings", "My Documents", "NetHood", "PrintHood", "Recent", "SendTo", "Start Menu", "Templates
These shortcuts in Windows 7 are junction points, which are important parts of application compatibility. As Windows 7 is a new Windows Platform, a lot of applications was not designed for it so that they are not fully compatible with Windows 7. To allow these applications access the data on Windows 7 properly, the shortcuts are designed to redirect the applications to obtain the necessary data in the correct directories. Thus, these shortcuts do not contain any files but a new directory of a certain folder. To avoid deleting or modifying the shortcuts by mistake, Windows 7 sets the Read permissions of these folder to Deny. Actually, the shortcuts are hidden by default.
To access these junction points, redirect to the following folders:
Note: As some folders are hidden, please refer to the following steps to show all the hidden files.

Does Firefox save the temporary internet files as form of JPG or AVI?

Hi
I really feel satisfaction about Firefox.
And I have a question that whether it remain or not temporary internet files as form of JPG, AVI etc.
I know that Firefox remains 'cache' when I surfing the internet with it.
You know, internet explorer remains temporary internet files as JPG file or AVI, MP4...
I'm just wondering that does Firefox remain 'caches' only.

One way or another Firefox tries to save quite a bit of information in order to run smoothly and help you. What problem do you have that you are trying to solve ?
