  • FindFirstUrlCacheGroup -> GroupID. What is its meaning ?

    From R.Wieser@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 23 22:04:19 2021
    Hello all,

    I've still got an XP machine with IE6 on it (which I don't use by the way)
    and
    noticed it caches (visits to) local HTML pages even when they open in FF.
    So, I found myself using "FindFirstUrlCacheGroup" to see whats in there.

    The thing is that I have absolutily *no* idea what the "GroupID" its outputs means. Currently I do not even know if its an enumerated or a bit-mapped value.

    I know I can use the GroupID to delete /something/, but would like to know *what* I'm deleting.

    Bottom line: Does someone have a list of possible "GroupID" values and what they mean ?

    Regards,
    Rudy Wieser

    I just noticed the "GetUrlCacheGroupAttribute" function.

    Alas, all but the "dwGroupFlags" fields are Zero. IOW, not much in the way
    of information can be gleaned from it (not even a group name) ...

    So, I'm still looking for a bit more info.

    Perhaps the Cache Group is related to the subfolders within the `Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5`?

    Cause I always wonder why would they need to spread the cache files into multiple folders, rather than just put all of the files into one folder.

    JJ,

    Possibly, but not likely. The (single, constant) value I'm getting is 10000000:00000007 (eight bytes, grouped as DWORDs). And as there are only
    four cache sub-folders ...

    Cause I always wonder why would they need to spread the cache files into multiple folders, rather than just put all of the files into one folder.

    Same here. Never really took the time to throw guesses at it though.
