| What is this ghost and how to delete it?
Windows Explorer founds this file with strange extension in the Temporary Internet Files directory, but I can not call it by a editor, open, copy or delete. This file is not revealed in DOS Prompt. Who has an idea? |

Someshire | Some corruption occurred, looks like. Did you try deleting contents of TIF?
Did you try deleting in Safemode?

Please, explain your question

| I have deleted all files from Temporary Internet Files directory before, except that ghost.
I understood that Cudni told about image files with extension .tif. |

OK, I have tried to work with this ghost in Safe mode - the same result.
I have Steganos Shredder and it proposed for Temporary Internet Directory the next service
quote:
You can select between three very secure procedures. Data can simply be overwritten or you can also use the DoD 5220.22-M/NISPOM 8-306 technology, used by the US Department of Defense, which ensures that data is overwritten several times and is thus conclusively deleted. If you prefer, you may opt to use the Gutmann method. It complies with the security requirements of the NSA. With this method, the hard drive space is overwritten 35 times in accordance with a specific procedure.
If I will use those methods, will be IE work after? |

Someshire | Yes, IE is a resilient beast and will be fine.

| Thank you, all are destroyed and new directory is formed. I am satisfied with Steganos work - in future will destroy as DoD.
Good luck! |

| I check Temporary Internet Files directory today. That file is restored!
It can not be deleted by Windows Explorer in Normal and Safe mode, Command Prompt and Steganos Shredder.
Who has other idea?
How find it in the Registry?
How find, read and delete it on the HDD manually? |

| Do you think it got restored after you used IE to browse or just by opening IE. What IE version and what OS. Can it be MediaBar in IE or similar?

| On this machine are installed
IE 6.0
XP Pro 5.1
WMP 10.0
As browser I use Opera and do not use IE directly, but it is a base browser for few applications (WMP, Front Page, Microsoft Outlook, ICQ, and so on), therefore I clean cookies and cache periodically. |
