Internet Explorer stores working data under %TEMP% instead of normal locations
- by SWB
Internet Explorer normally stores its working data in various special locations. For example:
Cookies - %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Cookies
History - %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\History
Cache - %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
However, for some reason, Internet Explorer occasionally stops using the normal locations and instead creates new folders under %TEMP% and/or %TEMP%\Low for this data. For example:
Cookies - %TEMP%\Cookies
%TEMP%\Low\Cookies
History - %TEMP%\History
%TEMP%\Low\History
Cache - %TEMP%\Temporary Internet Files
%TEMP%\Low\Temporary Internet Files
Why does Internet Explorer do this, and how can make it use the normal locations again?
