Hullo Everyone,

I tried to find an answer to this on the forums. I found a lot on IE
temp files etc. but nothing to solve the following riddle:

I had a habit in XP to keep IE temp on a small "temp" partition to
avoid fragmenting the system partition so much and to be able to defrag
quickly and often. I kept all "rubbish" on that small "temp" partition.

In Vista, I also tried to move the IE temp files through the settings
in IE options, and the IE options say they moved them. But when I look
into the new location, I do not find the IE temp files there (yes I did
"show hidden files" and "unhide protected system files" in folder
options). The t.i.f. folder was created but is empty. I do not find them
in the original location either.

On top of that, from this moment on all the favicons are gone and never
reload again. And History is empty forever. I can not figure it out as
to why and how this is so.

After I move IE t.f. back to their original location, everything goes
back to normal. I would appreciate any hints as to what should I read to
get out of this, it won't let me sleep. I apologise if I am overlooking
something or being completely dumb.

By the way, I have read many replies by "Shawn" and I would like to
send compliments to him for his patient and detailed instructions on so
many issues.

Thank you very much in advance, kind regards from Bratislava (under a
thick blanket of snow right now).
