Can anyone tell me if a stored graphic opened by Internet Explorer will be copied to temporary internet files? For example, would a graphic that is stored on a thumb drive copy to temporary internet files when launched?
I don't mean to sound harsh, but instead of relying upon the experiences of others, this is something that is extremely easy to test for yourself.
If called upon to testify, wouldn't it be better to answer
"Based upon my own testing…."
As opposed to saying
"The members at Forensic Focus say that…."
Thanks for the insight; however, most people know that Windows behaves quite differently to the same situation dependent on the variables. I did test this in its basic form what I was hoping for was an explanation rather than a yes / no answer. I tested and found that files opened with IE from a storage medium do not save to temporary internet files but I can't find any technical literature explaining when windows chooses to save these files. All I can find is an explanation starting with "When visiting websites…" My question is what if that "website" is just an HTML page stored on a thumb drive? What if it's stored locally? When does windows choose to cache these files? Does it cache every graphic on every page that's visited? Are there instances when a single graphic opened with IE may get cached?
If you can't answer my question, please don't bother replying.
Easy now, let's all get along )

Wow.
dietro's reply was appropriate to your orignal post. I guess you would have had a different response if you had given the extra information you subsequently supplied.
