Hello All,
I have been trying to figure out an odd Windows 2000/XP folder issue.
I would like to be able to delete the contents of both the
Temporary Internet Files folder, and the History folder.
The problem is when my program attempts to open
C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
or C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\ History\
the “REAL” contents of the folder does not show up.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

What does show up? I'm guessing you're using dir(myFolderPath)...

Give me a code snippet and I'll run it here on my PC.

-- dunno about 2000/XP, but in 98 all you really have is
..\content.ie5\index.dat.
Deleting that deleted everything but cookies. It's all 'magic', ...like
symlinks in Linux...
Now the police will be at your door, wondering why they can't trace your
'porn' activity...
...oops, wonder if that word will magically turn to 'pickle'
