Could open persistent cache for writing?

Hi:  I have a Win98SE machine.  When I close my browser (IE6), I get a secure messaging error that says "Could open persistent cache for writing."  I've done some research on the web but am not able to find a resolution.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Aha.  Do you have pcAnywhere installed?  Perhaps that is the source of the message, rather than Internet Explorer.

I would consider the "index.dat" files on your system to be a more "persistent" repository for data.  Perhaps, if you have used a utility designed to wipe out those index.dat files after an internet session, and then disabled this, then that utility could be generating the message.

Let us know if you have any such utilities installed so that we know if this is the area to look, or to turn elsewhere for some ideas.

Could this be something generated by the most recent release of Adobe Acrobat Reader?

Although it refers to Netscape-specific settings when it quotes the expression "Persistent cache", it got me thinking about the fact that Acrobat Reader 6 might have some additional settings to prevent possible compromising of security where stored data is concerned.  Worth checking, I would think.
