Temporary Internet Files


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi.

I'm looking for help. I'm on IE6, WinXPSP2. I need to use FileMove on files located in :

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

to another directory

but of course it doesn't work since the files aren't actually there.. I thought they were in :

C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

but I can't find them there either. So... how can I do that? or is there another way to have a cache directory working as any other normal directory?

Thanks!

I needed to move specific files inside but I just tried moving the entire directory.. it works but it ain't successful.

I'm only getting :

CONTENT.IE5 directory with desktop.ini

CONTENT.MSO (hidden and empty)

and a directory (RANDOM NUMBERS) with inside : (another dir RANDOM NUMBERS)\Offline\Hashfile.dat

and nothing else.

(I cleaned it and loaded only one page for test)

Here's a vanilla method based upon Content.IE5 (IE temp files "real" master root directory). You can modify it to go one level up as well, but if so, you'll want to add another level of folder recursion checking:

CODE

#include <File.au3>

$sProfile = "USER"

$sInetTemp = "C:\Documents and Settings\" & $sProfile & "\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\"

$sDestFolder = "C:\IETempBackup\"

If Not FileExists($sDestFolder) Then

DirCreate($sDestFolder)

EndIf

$aFolders = _FileListToArray($sInetTemp, "*", 2)

If IsArray($aFolders) Then

For $i = 1 To $aFolders[0]

DirCreate($sDestFolder & $aFolders[$i])

_GetContent($aFolders[$i])

Next

EndIf

Func _GetContent($sFolder)

$aContent = _FileListToArray($sInetTemp & $sFolder & "\", "*", 1)

If IsArray($aContent) Then

For $var = 1 To $aContent[0]

If $aContent[$var] <> "desktop.ini" Then

FileCopy($sInetTemp & $sFolder & "\" & $aContent[$var], $sDestFolder & $sFolder & "\")

EndIf

Next

EndIf

EndFunc

Note: Not copying "desktop.ini" over because it's got the instructions for content display/hide and that won't matter/apply in a backup directory.

ok.. one step further.. in my first post I was assuming files where in :

C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

but they're actually in :

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

Somehow, even if I have hidden & system files display enabled, the windows explorer doesn't show it (free tools like ExplorerXP does...). Anyway, it's accessible if I type it in the address bar.

The directories in it actually contain the files I'm looking for and when I'm trying to open them I'm getting a security warning (It's possible this page contains a security fault, do you want to continue?) so I'm clicking OK and I can access them and get the files.. When I'm moving C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

with DirMove I'm not getting them.. When I'm trying to move C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\(**the current random numbers of the temp directory**) , it's not copying them either, only half the files...?!?. But when I'm using the explorer manually I can do whatever I want.. copy/paste/delete...

How to give AU3 access to these files? (if it ain't possible I guess I'll have no choice but automate the mouse/keyboard moves but that would be a gross solution)

And about your script Monamo, thanks it looked interesting but somehow I'm getting.. nothing. IETempBackup is totally empty. Still cannot figure out what's wrong...

ok nevermind.. you had USER as Profile and I'm running as Administrator :D

Your script works nicely and will allow me to work on these files exactly as I wanted. Thank you again Monamo !

heh, no problem - I was sitting here trying to work out a quick debugging method to help isolate what issue your system was having. Glad to hear it was just a factor with the variable. :D

Actually, instead of

$sProfile = "USER"

$sInetTemp = "C:\Documents and Settings\" & $sProfile & "\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\"

you could just use

$sInetTemp = @UserProfileDir & "\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\"

This will also allow for those rare installations where Documents and Settings is not located on C:\ drive.

Also, if you are using MSOffice 2003 or greater, there is one folder in there that you can NOT see no matter what your folder view options are set for. Even allowing the viewing of super hidden files and folders won't let it show up. See this link for more info.
