Some files don't show or match Explorer views
Posted: 12.03.2009, 20:21
It is a bug or a feature or have I missed something:
When I view the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
There are no files shown other than
Desktop.ini
Content.IE5
Content.MSO
In Explorer this folder is full of files, cookies etc.
Similarly
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\History
shows:
desktop.ini
History.IE5
In Explorer neither of the above are shown but I'll see:
4 Weeks ago
3 Weeks ago ... etc.
I've not checked what else has the same problem but I'm presuming that there's a problem with these folders perhaps because they are virtual folders and explorer is keeping the actual files elsewhere?
Is there a way to get this information to show up in filecommander or alternatively a list produced of folders that one must revert to explorer. I'd like to be able to trust what filecommander is showing me but this doesn't help.
