Technical Assistance required

Post by Marblehead Johnson »


Wonder if anyone can help.

I'm trying to save some Quick Time movies off a site that I subscribe to, have followed the instructions on the site and have reached the point where I need to locate the browser's cache file, but the movies do not appear in there.

This is what the instructions tell me:-

"Click Find Files or Folders? on the Start Menu and type *.mov* in the Named: box and search in the Temporary Internet Files folder. When the search is complete, copy the files from the search results to your computer e.g. C:\My Documents\My Videos."

I've got Windows XP Professional and Quick Time 6.5 installed.

Any suggestions/ what am I doing wrong?

TIA

Marblehead.

I think I know the site you are referring to. Doesn't she talk dirty?
I don't do it that way.
Go into TempInternetFiles via Windows Explorer. Find the movie/s by selecting "Size" or "Last modified" and Drag and Drop to wherever.

Yes guys

You're right in both cases :-)

Unfortunately Mart, that didn't work either- the files don't seem to be there!!

P.S. By the way, how's NZ?

A long way from the UK Marblehead....lol
But there's a very cheap rate phone service via the internet available from TelecomNZ so guess who I'll be talking to later this week.....lol

Btw, are you assuming that the * * are like quotes and only putting .mov in the search box? You have to put in the whole lot...... *.mov*

Hi Mart

I managed to sort it out another way by starting at internet explorer and then going "Tools/Options/Temporary Internet Files/Settings/View Files"

Think that I had problems before because of the way that this machine had been configured.

Thanks anyway

Best wishes

Marblehead.
