Hullo Everyone,
I tried to find an answer on the forums and elsewhere, to no effect. I found some posts about IE temp files, favicons etc. but nothing to solve the following riddle:
(I had a habit in XP to keep IE temp on a small "temp" partition to avoid fragmenting the system partition so much and to be able to defrag quickly and often. I kept all "rubbish" on that small "temp" partition.)
In Vista, I also tried to move the IE temp files through the settings in IE options, and the IE options say they moved them. But when I look into the new location, I do not find the IE temp files there (yes I did "show hidden files" and "unhide protected system files" in folder options). The t.i.f. folder was created but it is empty. I do not find them in the original location either.
On top of that, from this moment on all the favicons are gone and never reload again. And History is empty forever. I can not figure it out as to why and how this is so.
After I move IE t.f. back to their original location, everything goes back to normal. I would appreciate any hints as to what should I read to get out of this, it won't let me sleep. I apologise if I am overlooking something or being completely dumb.
By the way, I have read many replies by "Shawn" and I would like to send compliments to him for his patient and detailed instructions on so many issues.
Thank you very much in advance, kind regards.
