BradV BradV Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2006-08-16 Posts: 687 Loc: Maryland, USA	Hi Everyone, I came across this yesterday. A customer had some extremely long file names in his IE cache and it wound up disabling his profile upload. I usually just go in with a command prompt and delete the errant file using the 8.3 naming syntax (first 6 characters followed by ~ followed by a 1, 2, etc). However it would work for two files. The last several characters of the file names were: Quote: [1].gif I think the square brackets were confusing the OS. Does anyone have any other ideas (using kixtart or not) how to delete such files? Thanks! Brad V

We specifically exclude the (default) temporary internet folder from roaming by policy. On the Citrix farm we configure IE to create the folder under "Local Settings", which does not roam.

BradV BradV Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2006-08-16 Posts: 687 Loc: Maryland, USA	No, del . or del xxxxxx~1.gif just responds with file not found. I can't rename or move it. Don't worry about it. $\:\)$ I will try to pass on the point about either removing the temporary internet folder from the roaming profile or clearing the cache upon IE close. Thanks! BradV
