I'm NOT talking about view properties, I'm taking about the directory it's
showing you compared to the directory you asked to see. If I ask to see
/rich/dir1 then I expect to see that and not /geo/dir1.

   Since we never discussed access permissions I'll ignore the off topic
mention of that.

   The shell extension associated with the temporary internet files folder
un-obfuscated the intentionally obfuscated physical view and presents
information not available from the file system like the URL being cached
and the cache expiration time.  I can keep repeating this but it would help
if you read what I wrote before you replied.

  I still don't understand. If I ask to see something I'm not allowed to see
  then I should get a "you aren't allowed" message and if I am allowed to
see
  it then I should see it. Why would explorer "obfuscate" my view of my
  system, what kind of reasoning would lead to a behavior like that? This is
  what I don't understand.

  question that needs asking)

     This directory has a custom viewer that shows a logical view of the
  Internet cache and cookies instead of the intentionally obfuscated
physical
  view.  It also adds information not stored with each file like the URL
  cached by that file and the cache expiration time.

     In Windows Server 2003 viewing another user's cache does not display
the
  logical view.  In Windows 2000 I'm pretty sure it does.  I don't know
about
  Windows XP.

     In any event, Mike's claims were bogus though it is not clear if this
is
  due to his disregard for honesty or accuracy.

    Why would explorer show you someplace different from what you asked to
  see?

       That's particularly strange since cookies are not stored in that
    location.  Now if you tried looking with Explorer at that location for
    another account, you would see the contents of the temporary Internet
  files
    and cookies for your own account.

      I can't answer your question, but when I went looking on my box (W2K
  SP2)
      I found a bunch of cookies in the Local Settings|Temporary Internet
  Files
      folder of the Administrator.  That's odd because I do not log in as
      Administrator on this box.
