hi, what is the content.IE5 folder, i had saved filesharingtalk.com on my desktop as a direct link to this web site and the icon to the website were small little orange sqares. in my contenat.IE5 folder there were 3 or 4 othere folders and in one of those folders were all little pictures of places where i had visited, even the avatars were there of all you lot in here, so i deleted all of them, and now my icons for my internet shortcuts ie, suprnova,filesharingtalk.com and some others- their icons have all changed to a white background and with the blue 'e' on them, whats happened and can i get them back. and why are all those pictures stored, i mean on of the folders was called '6WWGJ6RH -i mean what kind of stupid name is that for a folder

They're your temporary internet files, and why the hell did you delete something if you didn't know what it was?

good question haxor, i have learnt in the past that if i dont know something - just to leave it alone, but thats what being human is all about i suppose. i can imagine there no undoing what has been done then?

What are you guys talking about? I always delete this folder that IE makes a new fresh one, so F$&* it.

Get data recovery software. EnCase is the best, at least according to the FBI.

no use EE to remove it from the HD 4ever. Not even with eMicrosocopes can recover it (according to the authors)

is there a way i can stop things from being placed on my h/d, i mean i didnt even know that all the places i have visited are being stored on my pc, even small pictures. where are my rights gone- im not even asked if i want these useless things stored!!!

The idea is to speed up browsing pages that you have already visited. If you're on dialup and visit a page with a few pictures on it, then return the next day, the parts of that page that haven't changed won't need to be downloaded because IE can just load them off your hard drive.
If you are so paranoid that this bothers you (and, frankly, I can only imagine one reason for being so) make the relevant changes to your Internet Settings in the Control Panel. Then stop bitching about it.
