SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario.
- You are running Windows Internet Explorer 7 on a Windows Vista-based computer.
- You relocate the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder to another folder.
In this scenario, Internet Explorer 7 no longer works as expected. For example, when you try to visit a Web site, the Web site does not open as expected.
CAUSE
When Internet Explorer 7 moves the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder to a new folder, it does not set the correct user permissions on the new folder.

- Right-click the new folder that contains the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder, and then click Properties.
- Click the Security tab, and then click Edit.
- In the Groups or user names list, click the user account for which you want to set permissions.
- For the Read permission, click to select the Allow check box.
- For the Write permission, click to select the Allow check box. Click OK.
- Click OK to close the dialog box that displays the folder properties.
- Click Start, type cmd in the Start Search box, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to open an elevated command prompt.
Note If you see the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
- At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER to set a low integrity level for the folder:
