Title: Temporary internet files load to flash drive
Post by: wyadams on May 17, 2010, 10:51:04 AM

This one has me stumped. Every time I plug in a flash drive, the windows temporary internet files folder copies itself to the flash drive (about a 30 second delay). I can delete the contents, but not the folder itself (I get the message: "...cannot delete folder, folder in use...").

I have hit a dead end on this one. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am running Windows XP Professional.

It appears our Malware/Virus experts are offline right now.  I could tell you how to change it back, but I'm more concerned what moved the location to the flash drive, assuming you didn't do it.  Don't do anything until you hear from them.
