I am hoping someone can help with this. I have the info required to add/change the registry key to move temporary internet files form their default location to another location. I am wanting to use a scipt within Kixtart to do this. Could anyone help us out with a script?

Thanks for your help.


How can I exclude the Temporary Internet Files folder from the user profile?

A. By default the storage area for temporary internet files is "%systemroot%\Profiles\<user>\Temporary Internet Files", and if you implemented roaming profiles then these files would count as part of your profile taking up valuable server space. To change the location from the browser perform the following: Start Internet Explorer Select "Internet Options" from the View menu Select the General tab Click the Settings button Click the "Move Folder" button Click Yes to the confirmation dialog Select the new location and click OK You will need to restart the machine for the new location to take effect Alternatively you could create a reg file to manually update the following registry values and include it as part of a logon script HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\path1\CachePath HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\path2\CachePath HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\path3\CachePath HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\path4\CachePath HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Cache An example .reg file would be REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\path1] "CachePath"="E:\\TEMP\\Cache1" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\path2] "CachePath"="E:\\TEMP\\Cache2" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\path3] "CachePath"="E:\\TEMP\\Cache3" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Paths\path4] "CachePath"="E:\\TEMP\\Cache4" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] "Cache"="E:\\TEMP" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders] "Cache"="E:\\TEMP" Make sure you use 2 \'s. This would set the cache area to e:\temp however you could change this to anything you want. Save the above as cache.reg and run as regedit /s cache.reg Netscape does not store temp files under the user profile (if you are interested it is stored in the registry location HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Netscape Navigator\Users\<user>\DirRoot ;-) ).
