Question : Setting Internet Explorer temporary internet files path via Group Policy

I am trying to force a domain wide policy that sets the default path for temporary internet files to "C:\temp\temporary internet files". When the Domain was originally created this was the default policy, and the GPO "disable changing temporary internet files" attribute is set to enabled.
Unfortunately since upgrading the server hardware this policy has become corrupted, it is set correctly on some workstations but others have reverted to "C:\Documents and Settings\%UserName%\local setttings\temporary internet files". I can find the "disable changing temporary internet files" attribute in policy editor but not the path setting.
I know I can disable "disable changing temporary internet files" attribute in policy editor and then change the settings on each workstation manually but it would obviously be much more efficent to do this from the server.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Garry

Answer : Setting Internet Explorer temporary internet files path via Group Policy

It is something you can set with a registry change, which means that you can create your own adm for it (though I'm sure it would tattoo the registry, so I would suggest finding a third party extension that manages preferences instead of true policies in order to remove the key from the reg, should you delete the gpo), or you can create a vbs or probably a batch script in order to change it and have it run on login.

I believe that this is the location in registry.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
It will be here under "Cache."

Hope this helps.
