Hidden Files and Folders / Content.IE5!?!?
in [Security]
|
From: Billsebiz on 27 Feb 2010 05:13 I found this on WindoesBBS. "ise2006--I think a program such as SystemSecuritySuite does a better job of deleting the Content.IE5 files including the contents of the index.dat file in that folder. http://www.igorshpak.net/ Check "Temporary" under both My Computer and Internet Explorer columns. Specific to just seeing the Content.IE5 files, I have the same problem. If you type C:\Doc..and Setting\user's name\Local Setting\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 into the Windows Address line and click Enter, you will get there. I created a shortcut just for this purpose. There are other ways, but I find this simplest. " This works and youcan see and modify the contents of Content.IE5 and all of the sub-folders. Good luck!
