Ben,

I had a similar prob to this once. Try moving the folder using 'VIEW'
'OPTIONS' 'ADVANCED' 'SETTINGS' in IE and this, with a bit of luck, might
fix it.

At the risk of offending... Are you restarting IE or NT. You must restart
NT for this change to take effect BEFORE going back into IE. Also make sure
the permissions on the directory you have moved the files too is set up
correctly. (Make sure YOUR username has FULL CONTROL).

I have the same problem with the temp files directory moving.
I tried several times to change it and then restarted NT, but it was
still the same. Then, some unexplained reason it worked. The IE
properties dialog box showed it was in the new location and NT explorer
showed the old directory was gone and files had appeared in the new
destination.

However, I noticed yesterday that the old directory (under my user
profile) had reappeared and the IE4 settings have changed back to point
to that directory.

Best guess is a corrupt file/bad sector is causing the problem. Go
into IE Options-- Advanced-- Settings--Empty Folder. If that doesn't
work, run chkdsk /f to have chkdsk fix the corrupt file. If that
doesn't work, use Norton Disk Dr. Until that corrupt/bad sector is
removed, you will have problems viewing/moving that folder. You should
have NDD or chkdsk do a surface testing of your HD to see if there are
problems waiting to bite you.

Good Luck.

We've seen this same problem caused by an older version of "wininet.dll"
that was installed after IE by another piece of software.  To fix the
problem do the following:

1) Rename wininet.dll to wininet.old
2) Reboot the system
3) Copy wininet.dll from a known good system into winnt\system32 (or
reinstall IE)
4) Reboot once again
5) Life should be good until the next time!

There are many versions of this file kicking around that can cause strange
problems.  It's amazing what software packages will install a newer/older
version of this file.  This was one of the common problems on machines that
installed IE4 Beta's and then tried to upgrade to the final.

Hope this helps!

Is there anyway to completely disable caching these temp files?
Even at 1%, the min. you can set explorer to, you are looking at 40MB on a 4GB 
disk.
This becomes a problem when you are dealing with multiple users on the same
disk.

On my system the directory is "\winnt\temporary internet files"
This does not seem to be use id dependant. Why do you think that the
storage is allocated on a per user basis.

Because, under \winnt\profiles\%username%\ there is also a Temp. Internet 
Files directory that gets filled up to whatever value the particular user
has selected for the cache.
This is with WNT 4.0 SP3 and IE 3.* and IE 4.0.

For details see Q155353 and Q145766.


In effect, the articles suggest...
MSIE must download files to the cache before the page can be displayed.
The persistent cache requires 4 MB or 1% of logical drive size.
Whichever is greater.
