Thanks for the replies but i was trying to avoid having to do re direct the Temporary Internet Files folder (see below) Regards ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michel Roth" <mrdizzz@xxxxxxxxx> To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, October 28, 2005 8:10 AM Subject: [THIN] Re: Mind going ... is this possible with IE Don't know about changing default download folder, I do know that you can redirect the Temp Int FIles via a reg edit (I don't recall it being available from w2k folder redirection GPO's). Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" and look the the "cache" entry.
