Why do temporary internet files show up as a tab?

Why are temporary internet files showing up as a tab in FF ver 8? I have the private browsing option on.

I'm not sure what you mean.
Which content (URL) do you see on those tabs?
If necessary then please attach a screenshot.

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).

Why can't I delete temporary internet files in Bootcamp/AppData folders

Why can't I delete temporary internet files in Bootcamp/AppData folders. Message occurs that file cannot be deleted.

Are you trying to delete files from your Time Machine backup? Don't do that!! If you have files/photos you wish to delete then delete them from iPhoto or whatever photo application you are using. They will be removed from the backup by the TimeMachine backup system. Your backup is not a simple file it is a time/event dependent organizational picture of your system sort of like a multilayered transparent collage, but if you start pulling random pieces out it will collapse the file system.

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.

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!

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

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!

Hi,
Based on the decription, we can try to enable the following policy setting to see if it helps:
Computer configuration or User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Delete Browsing History\Allow deleting browsing history on exit
Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for more information.

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
Philipp

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.
Best regards

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.

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.

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.

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.
