    I have determined that Microsoft Security Essentials is definitely preventing the move of TIF. Manually disabling MSE (or uncheck MSCONFIG -> startup) allows me to move TIF.

    So, at this point, I've got them moved.

    It is somewhat interesting that you can't move them using Control Panel -> Internet Options applet. You can only do it via IE -> Options (same applet).

    Well it's good to hear you've figured out the culprit. May I suggest Avast! free version to use instead of MSE?

    Move Internet Cache to another Drive


    I also had this problem but have it working now. These were my steps:

    I. Opened IE Options Window
    2. Clicked on Browser history settings
    3. Clicked on Move Folder
    4. Selected folder on the other drive
    5. After a few seconds I was brought back to IE Options window
    6. Clicked OK and I was told that I would be logged out for move to complete
    7. I logged back in and the folder was moved to the other disk.

    If you have problems I would check security of folder that you are moving the file to. Make sure it's at least the same permissions as the Temporary Internet Files folder itself.

    Good Luck, Ralph:)
