"Also found Temporary Internet Files moved to C:\windows\Localsettings\ApplicationData\TemporaryInternet."
My locations:
C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings\Application Data Folder.
C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files Folder (TIF).
The(TIF) is not in an Application Data Sub-Folder.
I did not move the (TIF) in the Internet Properties/Temporary Internet Files/Settings,
the (TIF) was changed during a "Build" update to Internet Explorer--not sure which
one now, been awhile.
Internet Explorer updates were noted to mess with Explorer Folders.
