Locking "Temprorary Internet Files" so they don't get deleted?
I play a certain game online, and I have dial-up, so 5MB every time I play takes more than long enough to download. I can get to the Temporary folder via the browser options menu, but there's no way to drag files into that folder in case they get deleted. So I was wondering if there is a program or something I can use to prevent certain files form getting deleted.

Thanks a bunch!
-Jac

If your settings for the Temporary files is large enough,and you don't have the browser option set to delete these files when you exit, the files shouldn't be deleted.

Well I want other files to delete regularly. I just wanted to be able to pick certain files to not be deleted, just one right now.

There is really no way to do this.
If it is only a 5MB file, make the setting around 30MB and if you play the game regularly, the rest of the files should clean on their own (oldest out first) with the 5MB one kept intact. (as long as you don't bring down any other large files that may force the 5MB one to be deleted).
Or, to be really safe, make the setting larger.
