Title: Temp. Internet Files
Post by: Patti Feinberg on January 12, 2004, 10:01:51 PM

So, I was clicking around, trying to not be so afraid of my 'puter.

I clicked on disk clean up, which one of the things was TEMPORARY INTERNET FILE (I can never find this!!)

I decided to see what was on here; first, they're all a bunch of alphanumeric files (ie, A4L6D9 ).

The first one I clicked on had alot & it took a moment to load. There were lots of the rock group Evanescene, which I attributed to my daughter.

But, as I continued to let it load, there were also things like a car pic from Detroit auto show, which IIRC, was a pic on msn's main page??? ALSO, there was the green happy crowd smileys FROM HERE. ALSO!!! Mark Rainey's scary face (but it didn't switch) was on there????

Next alphanumeric was I believe merchandise I was looking at last week from Oriental trading; like allll the merchandise.

Then, there were some that have the (I don't know what the icon is called, it's blue on top and I never know how to access/open it) and it wouldn't let me delete them....THESE WERE PRIMARILY NAMED YABBSE!!

????????

(Can I prevent stuff from here from downloading to my 'puter?)

No.

Those are the files that are stored in your browser's disk cache. The way to get rid of them is to just clear the cache.  ;)

But why the randomness; the happycrowd & Mark's sig/pic???

Why not Midnite's bunnies (or anything else)??

I'm afraid you'll have to ask the IE programmers.  [idontknow]
