Internet Explorer 7 no longer works after you move the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder to another folder on a Windows Vista-based computer
Consider the following scenario.
- You are running Windows Internet Explorer 7 on a Windows Vista-based computer.
- You relocate the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder to another folder.
In this scenario, Internet Explorer 7 no longer works as expected. For example, when you try to visit a Web site, the Web site does not open as expected.
When Internet Explorer 7 moves the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder to a new folder, it does not set the correct user permissions on the new folder.
To resolve this problem, follow these steps.
Note To perform this procedure, you must use a user account that has administrator rights.
- Right-click the new folder that contains the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder, and then click Properties.
- Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
- In the Groups or user names list, click the user account for which you want to set permissions.
-
For the Read permission, click to select the Allow check box.
- For the Write permission, click to select the Allow check box. Click OK.
-
Click OK to close the dialog box that displays the folder properties.
- Click Start

Note If you see the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
- At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER to set a low integrity level for the folder:
Icacls folder_path /setintegritylevel L
Note The folder_path placeholder represents the full path of the folder. - Type exit to close the command prompt.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
For information about how to use the
Icacls command, open a command prompt, and then type
Icacls /?.
APPLIES TO
- Windows Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista
