Hey there..
1st of, im sorry for opening a new topic for this, i've tried using other topics to resolve my problem but w/ no luck.

my problem goes like this:
Everytime I delete the Temporary files FOLDER, when I get in a site which uses Shockwave flash PLUGIN, I need to reinstall it everytime.. I noticed a *.rar file related to Shockwave which is placed in the Temporary files folder, everytime it gets deleted Im required to reinstall shockwave plugin again.

So i tried resolving this by creating a command which will delete the content of Temporary Files except for the files w/ the *.rar extension.

I dont know if thats the best solution for the shockwave plugin problem, but that was the best i could come up with.

Thanks a lot for any help.does any1 know how to make a Batch file w/ this command:

"delete the content of Temporary Files folder except for the files w/ the *.rar extension."In the batch code, you can tell it to rename that folder which contains the data you want to delete, give it any name, then create a new folder with the name that the other folder had before, copy the file you dont wish to delete from the one folder to the other and then delete the folder w the weird name.
That should do.This little batch file will work (on some machines) as a workaround but not a solution:

Code: [Select]
@echo off
for /f %%a in ('dir /b "c:\Temporary files\*.*"') do (if not %%~xa==.rar del "c:\Temporary files\%%a")


Change Temporary Files to something valid on your machine.

When you install Shockwave, do you not have the OPTION of where to install it? It's rather strange it would install to a temp directory.

I applied the command to the batch file, changed the dir to: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

and it did nothing :\

I have absolutely no idea what to do now ...
I deleted the Temporary internet files directly via Internet Explorer >> Tools >> Internet Options

restarted my IE, and again.. the macromedia shockwave plugin installation pops-up.

I cant choose a destination folder for the installation since it installs the plugin automatically, after it has been installed, the plugin APPEARS in the Tools >> Internet options >> Programs >> Manage-Addons
list.Quote

and it did nothing :\
