Description
IECacheView is a small utility that reads the cache folder of Internet Explorer, and displays the list of all files currently stored in the cache.
For each cache file, the following information is displayed: Filename, Content Type, URL, Last Accessed Time, Last Modified Time,
Expiration Time, Number Of Hits, File Size, Folder Name, and full path of the cache filename.
You can easily save the cache information into text/html/xml file, or copy the cache table to the clipboard and then
paste it to another application, like Excel or OpenOffice Spreadsheet.
Advantages over the 'Temporary Internet Files' viewer of Windows
- IECacheView displays only the list of cache files, while the cache view of Windows displays a mix of cookies and cache files.
- IECacheView allows you to filter the cache files by file type (image, text, video, audio, or application).
- IECacheView allows you to view the cache files of another user or from another disk, while with the Windows viewer, you can only watch the cache of the current logged-on user.
- IECacheView displays some columns that are not displayed by the cache viewer of Windows: Content Type, Number of hits, Sub-folder name, and the full-path of the cached filename.
- With IECacheView, you can easily select the desired cache items, copy the information to the clipboard, and then paste it into Excel or OpenOffice Spreadsheet.

The Location Of Internet Explorer Cache Folder
The cache folder of Internet Explorer is located under C:\Documents and Settings\[user Name]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files.
When you enter into this folder from Windows Explorer, you don't really see the real content of the folder, but instead,
the shell extension of Windows displays a table containing the list of cache files and cookies.
If you want to view the real content of the 'Temporary Internet Files' folder, you can try one of the following options:
- Download and install the 7-Zip File Manager.
This tool allows you to view the real content of folders.
- Use ShellExView utility to disable the 'Temporary Internet Files' shell extension.
After you disable this extension, you can view the real content of this folder from Windows Explorer.
- Log on to your system with another user, and then go to the 'Temporary Internet Files' of your real user.
When you're logged on with another user, Explorer will show you the real content of the cache folder.
Using IECacheView
IECacheView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL files. Just copy the executable file (IECacheView.exe) to any folder you like, and run it.
After you run it, the main window displays the list of files currently stored in the cache of Internet Explorer for the current logged-on user.
If you want to view the cache of another user or from another instance of operating system, simply
use the 'Select Cache Folder' option (F9) to select the desired cache folder that you want to inspect.
You can select one or more cache files from the list, and than export the list into text/html/xml file ('Save Selected Items' option),
copy the URL list to the clipboard (Ctrl+U), copy the entire table of cache files (Ctrl+C), and then paste it to Excel or to OpenOffice spreadsheet.
You can also extract the actual files from the cache, and save them into another folder, You can do that by using the
'Copy Selected Cache Files To' option (F4).
Notice For Delete Option
When you delete files from the cache, IECacheView delete the cache files, but it doesn't delete the reference to them in the cache index file.
