Generally, whatever we browse using Internet Explorer, it always saves
some of the data inside temporary files folder so that it could offer a
faster browsing experience to us. The temporary saved data covers the
cached web pages, images and other media. By default, the latest
Internet Explorer 11, saves the Temporary Internet Files and website
data to the folder at the following location:
C:\Users\<user
name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache
You can change the temporary data saving location in the following
manner.

Search

Open Internet Explorer settings window or run inetcpl.cpl command. On

the General tab of Internet Properties window, click Settings under
Browsing History heading. On the Website Data Settings window, you
have the option to move the temporary file location to your desired
folder, refer to below screenshot.

Recently, I have changed the temporary internet file location by following

above mentioned way, but when I tried to restore it back to default, it
wont worked. I was unable to restore temporary internet files folder.
When it used Move to option to restore, the temporary files got
generated
into
C:\Users\<user
name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Temporary
Internet Files location and not in default C:\Users\<user
name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache location.
Resetting Internet Explorer didnt fix this problem, so here is how to fix
this, by editing the Windows Registry.

default temporary file storage location as following and click OK:
%USERPROFILE%
\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache

When I refer INetCache folder using any program and try to print its
contents, it always it displays [Content.IE5, counters.dat,
desktop.ini, IE, Low, Virtualized]. But when I access the same
INetCache folder using IE11 browser, Tools->Internet
Options->General->Browsing history-> Settings(click)->View files
(click), I get different folder structure, which contains some favicon.ico
files. How can I make my program to refer always these favicon.ico
files instead of [Content.IE5, counters.dat, desktop.ini, IE,
Low, Virtualized] ?
