Temporary Internet Files access denied or can't see

[dudrjs79]

Hi

I am using windows 10 pro. and use internet explorer 11. I am trying to view the temporary internet files by clicking Temporary Internet Files and History Settings dialog box under the Internet Options and under the Browsing history. when I do that it only shows few files, not the other files like jpg or mov etc... I even tried to look at the files under \User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\ and it says access denied. is it possible to view the files from IE 11??

according to the Microsoft page,

Webpages are stored in your Temporary Internet Files folder the first time you view them in your web browser. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already seen, because Internet Explorer can open them from your hard disk instead of from the Internet.

it says nothing about movies or jpegs. Your pc doesn't save those all by default, especially movies which are normally just streamed. You have to be proactive and ask it to save things, and all of that will go to your downloads folder instead.

You forced me to open IE, I need to go wash my hands now

Everyone group is "denied" access to IE Cache "Content.IE5" directory by default. That's what the ICACLS command tell me.

C:\Users\Ramesh\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low>icacls content.ie5
content.ie5

Everyone:(DENY)(S,RD)
            NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
            BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
            W10-PC\Ramesh:(OI)(CI)(F)
            NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
            BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
            W10-PC\Ramesh:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
            Mandatory Label\Low Mandatory Level:(I)(OI)(CI)(NW)

And removing "Deny" entry for Everyone, using ICACLS command should help you gain access to the folder.

Or try something like IE Cache Viewer from Nirsoft: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/ie_cache_viewer.html

Correction: Cache is stored here, in Windows 10 / IE11.
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low\IE

You can view from file Explorer (with show hidden files & protected operating system files displayed).

thanks for the reply,
how do I write ICACLS command to remove "deny" entry? if I want to remove deny in specific folder then do I write icacls d C:\Users\username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low\IE ??

Hi, No need to modify ICACLS, as the last post states a different location (in Windows 10). Simply type this path in File Explorer Address bar:

C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Low\IE

And in "Folder Options" View tab, uncheck "Hide protected Operating system files..." option.

IE Cache folders should be visible.
