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.

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:
"For your computers security, this file was saved to the Temporary Internet Files folder"
"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:
Office 2007 Enterprise
Office 2007 Project Professional
Office Visio Professional 2007
As a antivirus I am using Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008
Diskeeper 2008 Pro
Nero 8
Quicken Home and Business 2008
WinRar
I am using Microsoft Internet explorer V 7.0.6001.18000
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.

Temporary Internet Files Folder

Ok, here's the problem...
It appears that Oracle Portal's SSO framework generates HTML that posts the user id and password for an External Application from the client machine. The problem is the HTML is cached in the Temporary Internet Files folder. If you bring up the HTML file in a text editor, you will then be able to see the user id and password.
Now I know that a lay person may have a hard time figuring all this out, but it's quite possible that a technically proficient person could break into a user's machine and steal his/her user ids and passwords.
Is Oracle aware of this security problem? If so, what can be done about it?

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.

How to clear the cache files in folder Temporary Internet Files

When one user opens files such as pdf. or doc. from Portal, the same file will be downloaded into the Temporary Internet Files folder. if another user copied the files out of the Temporary Internet Files folder from this computer and save to someplace else, then we face one security problem.
So my question is: How to clear the cache files in folder Temporary Internet Files?? Can we delete the files automatically when close the files in Portal??
or is there some ways to make encrypty???
Thanks very much!

Hello,
this is a basical security problem which should be resolved by the OS standard security setup . No other user should have access to the temporary file folders in the personal directory. The user account must be secure. Normaly your security problem should not be a problem if basic security exists on the clients.
You can resolve this problem if every user has his own account on the client
The users having no administration permissions on the clients
The folder for the temporary internet files is placed in the personal profile folder of the user account.
On default no other user has access rights to you personal folder, this means the client OS is setup correctly.
You can setup the IE that no temporary files are saved (but it reduces performance)
You can enable IE to delete automaticly the temporary files if IE is closed.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Alex

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

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.
Show hidden folders
==============
1. Open "Computer", and click "Organize" -> "Folder and Search Options".
2. Click the "View" tab. Under "Hidden files and folders", click "Show hidden files and folders."
3. To display other hidden files, clear the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" check box.

Why does FF use the IE Temporary Internet Files directory?

I have used Firefox exclusively as my browser for the past 6 months. Recently, I checked my "Temporary Internet Files" folder, where IE stores visited pages, and found it full and up to date, even though I had deleted everything in it when I started using FF. Why is Firefox storing data in here? Please note: On my computer, I have set up the "Temporary Internet Files" as the IE cach folder...IT IS NOT THE FF CACHE FOLDER. Thanks for any help.

[[How to clear the cache]]
Putting 'about:cache' into the navigation bar will show you some basic information about the cache.
Please see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.disk.parent_directory Browser.cache.disk.parent directory] for more information.

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!

Period of keeping temporary internet files?

How can i set period of keeping temporary internet files for example as day or month. i would like to keep them for long time to make it faster and prevent using my internet quota much.(ex. more than a month).
Could you help me ?

Firefox lets you set the size of the cache (equivalent of the Temporary Internet Files folder) on disk here:
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network tab
However, I don't know whether you can set a period of time for the cache. Maybe someone else knows where that would be.

What is the default name of the folder where the cache (i.e. Firefox's temporary internet files) is stored?

What is the default name of the folder where the cache (i.e. Firefox's temporary internet files) is stored? Basically, what folder is Firefox's equivalent of Temporary Internet Files?

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.<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.

Happy update.
After ignoring this problem for awhile and installing some NI DAQ boards,
this problem is not happening anymore.
Would urge NI to investigate further though. Messed me up for a couple of
days, and still don't know why it happened.
Much thanks to those who helped.

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!
