Move the temporary folder of IE and notice under Win7

For system optimization reasons, many people are accustomed to moving the Internet temporary folder of IE to another location other than the system partition after installing Windows. Whether it's IE 8 under the XP system, or IE 8 and IE 9 under the Windows 7 system, they are similar in the Mobile Internet temporary folder operation, the following small set of IE 9 Browser For example, the method to share.

1, open IE 9, click the Alt key on the keyboard, click "Tools"-"Internet Options" on the menu bar.

2, click "Settings" under "Browsing history"

3. In the open window, click Move Folder, and then select the folder you want to save to.

With the simple action above, you can complete the mobile Internet temporary folder. Note that if you are doing this on Windows 7, you may experience a loss of response from the browser, inability to use installed plug-ins, and inability to save pages.

Why does this happen? This is because IE browser is running protection mode.

Protection mode is a unique security protection feature of IE 8/ie 9 for Windows 7, which enables IE to run with lower privileges and helps improve system security. The operation of protected mode is based on UAC, and Windows XP version of IE 7/ie 8 does not have protection mode. When we select the "Enable protected mode (restart Internet Explorer)" checkbox in IE's Internet Options-Security tab, the IE status bar appears "Protected mode: Enabled" When you run IE again, indicating that IE is running in protected mode.

It turns out that when IE is running in protected mode, it has low privileges that are not sufficient to read and write files to the normal Internet temporary folder, so it creates low, lower-privileged subfolders in the original Internet temporary folder and saves the appropriate resources in the lower:

Temporary Internet Files:%userprofile%appdatalocalmicrosoftwindowstemporary Internet Fileslow

Cookies:%userprofile%appdataroamingmicrosoftwindowscookieslow

Historical record:%userprofile%appdatalocalmicrosoftwindowshistorylow

Temp:%userprofile%appdatalocaltemplow

When IE cancels the protection mode, it will be back in the original temporary folder read and write files, so ie above the problems can immediately disappear.

We can view the folder's integrity check flags with the Windows 7 icacls command, and enter the icacls "file name and path" command. When we look at the integrity check flags for%userprofile%appdatalocalmicrosoftwindowstemporary Internet Fileslow, we can see mandatory labellow The typeface for the mandatory level indicates that the low folder's integrity check is lower. The integrity check level for all other normal folders is in Medium, so when we modify the temporary Internet folder to a different folder, IE protection mode has an exception because there is no permission to read and write files in the new folder.

To solve this problem, we can use the ICACLS command to set a low integrity check flag for the new Internet temporary folder. For example, assuming that the modified Internet temporary folder is d:iefans.netietemp, we can open the CMD command prompt to execute the following command:

icacls d:iefans.netietemp/t/setintegritylevel Low

Set a low integrity check flag for it. In this way, running in the protection mode of IE has the right to read and write files in the new temporary folder, IE protection mode of failure will be solved.
