Temp. Internet File wierdness...

I have Win2k running dual boot with Win98.
Yesterday I was cleaning up my Win98 partition on drive C:
and noticed that the temporary internet file folder was
very full. I never really use the internet in 98, so I deleted it.
Back in Win2k it seems that all my cookies etc had gone.
According to IE5 it is correctly using

F:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
as the temp folder.

So I've done some surfin today and compared the two folders:
F:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

and

C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files

and do you know what? It's using both. There's alot of duplicated files, and some that are unique to each.

WTF?

This isn't normal right?

Maxer.

Well, I've come one step closer to resolving it.

Seems that the files aren't being written to Win98's
folder after all... a check from DOS or win98 confirms
this, but Win2k reckons those files are still in there.

Must have something to do with the folder options??

Funny that deleting those files in Win98's Temp.internet
files should've also deleted Win2ks.

This is real odd.
