Hi Scott,
Try this first.
Start | Run | Paste this in the box:
regsvr32 occache.dll
Click OK.
A message should popup.
---------------------------
RegSvr32
---------------------------
DllRegisterServer in occache.dll succeeded.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Reboot your machine. And then check the Downloaded Program Files folder.
%windir% is an environment variable that is the location of the system
directory.
Typing or pasting %windir% into the Start | Run box opens to the Windows
folder on whatever drive it is located. I.e. C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT.
Windows XP can be installed in either WINDOWS or WINNT.
%windir%\Downloaded Program Files
is the same as
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files
if Windows is installed on the C: drive.
As stated above it could be C:\WINNT\Downloaded Program Files.
What opens if you paste %windir% into the Start | Run box and click OK?
Did you try the other two methods? The View Objects button should open
%windir%\Downloaded Program Files wherever it is located. Unless, maybe
it's been moved.
Do a Search for Downloaded Program Files.
