Kevin,
As a matter of interest:
Where is the cache?

I looked here just now:
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server
Extensions\Cache
and found a couple of .web files.

But they don't seem to be in any standard format.

I can look at them with UltraEdit but it doesn't show me much.

From all the discussion here, I thought there would be a cache folder which
when you opened it would contain all the files one has browsed on the web
(and therefore downloaded) just as they were. That is, .html files .js files
..css files .jpg files .gif files, etc. etc.

Is that true?
If so, where are they?
Or don't you want to give away that information in case this make it easier
for those wanting to capture images.

Hi Trevor,

Try
C:\Documents and Settings\*your name*\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files
The "Local Settings" is a hidden file...

Hi Trevor,

It depends on the browser. With Internet Explorer, the location is in each
user's Temporary Internet Files folder, which you can access easily by using
the Tools|Options menu in Internet Explorer, under the General Tab. with
FireFox, it's in the user's Local Settings\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\mav2dezj.default\Cache folder. Each browser
has its own cache.

Thnask, Kevin

I have a batch file which deletes the contents of various temp folders. I
will add this to it.

If it is of interest, this is the list:
del C:\Windows\Temp\*.*
del C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\Local Settings\Temp\*.* /s
del C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\*.* /s
del C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\Local Settings\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\untjrabk.default\Cache\*.* /s
del %AppData%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache\*.*
del C:\*.tmp /s
del C:\*.chk /s
del C:\~*.* /s

Can anyone add to/subtract from this list?
Also, again out of interest, is there a variable (similar to %AppData%)
whichI can use in place of
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\Local Settings
