Windows 7 IE 10 Not Keeping Temp Files

[jimlau]

i used to be able to go into internet temp files for videos i played on-line,
like on youtube. if i play them, they went into a folder, from which i could
copy and save them. that was on my windows xp computer. i now have w7 and IE10.
is there a setting that allows me to do that again? it seems to save some, but
not all. I increased the memory size but no go.

thanks.

In Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 10, you should be able to access temporary internet files where videos played online, like on YouTube, are stored. Here's how you can check and modify the settings to ensure that the videos are saved in the temporary internet files: 1. Accessing Temporary Internet Files: - Open Internet Explorer. - Click on the "Tools" icon (gear icon) in the top-right corner or press Alt + X. - Choose "Internet Options." - In the "General" tab, under Browsing history, click on "Settings." - In the "Temporary Internet Files" section, you can adjust how much disk space to use for temporary files. 2. Check Temporary Internet Files Location: - To locate the temporary internet files folder: - Open Windows Explorer (File Explorer). - Copy and paste the following into the address bar: %temp%. - Press Enter. This will take you to the temporary folder where internet files are stored. - Look for a folder named "Low" or "Content.IE5." Your video files might be located there. 3. Check Browser Settings: - Make sure that your browser settings are not set to automatically clear cache and temporary internet files on exit. - In Internet Options, go to the "General" tab. - Under "Browsing history," click on "Delete." - Ensure that the option to delete temporary internet files is not selected. 4. Download Manager: - Ensure that your download manager is not set to clear files automatically after download. Check the settings of your download manager, if you are using one. 5. Browser Extensions: - Sometimes browser extensions can interfere with file downloads. Try disabling any extensions that might be causing issues. By checking these settings and following the steps outlined above, you should be able to locate and save the videos you have played online back when you were using Windows XP. If the issue persists, there may be other factors at play, but these steps should help troubleshoot the problem.
