Couple of questions about Windows Vista?

Question

1) Where are the temp internet files, cookies etc. In XP they were in User\Local Settings but Vista doesn't seem to have these folders.

2) Similar Q - Where do I place a shortcut so the file opens on start up (not progs that can be set in msconfig but files such as a web page or Word doc). There used to be a Start Up folder in Local Settings in XP.

Answer 1

Hi,

As to the first question, I believe it is simply in the Windows folder, but a quick way to view them would be to go to Internet Explorer, go to Tools, drag down to Internet Options, and under Browsing History, hit the settings button. Under the current location listing on the window that comes up, you can hit the View Files button and it should take you to your Temp Internet folder, and include the browsing tree pane to the left of the window.

As to the second, the quickest way would be to open start menu, hit the all programs, and go to the folder there labeled Startup...open that and then create shortcuts or place into the folder what you wish to open on startup.

Hope this helps!

For the first one, you can delete them from inside IE, although you seem to know what your talking about, so I doubt you actually use IE (FireFox anyone?)

Question 2, have you tried searching Startup in the little search bar in the start menu?

I would check, but I'm on a mac at the moment - arghz
