When I saw your post my heart soared...

First off...genius move, and thank you for posting this.

lol; Alas, I have XP Pro & trying to follow your instructions, I looked through my C: directory and followed what I thought would be my chain to reach the Cache folder you cited. I found a cache folder containing many files, but no files with JFIF.

My setup looks more complicated that it needs to be (administrator, etc?)

Dreavers: Do you have any other suggestions I might try with Windows XP Pro -— thinking you might have had XP before you upgraded to Windows7

OR:

Is anyone using Windows XP Pro able to locate the appropriate chain to reach the cache of files with dreavers’ method?

Is anyone using Windows XP Pro able to locate the appropriate chain to reach the cache of files with dreavers’ method?

Try this path:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user-name]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

where [user-name] is variable. Look for .jpg files, one for each page of the immigration files.

Here’s the location of the Firefox cache for Win XP -

C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\********.default\Cache

Also, I forgot to mention — these cached-file-names have NO extensions — and you’ll need to rename the 55 files so the names end in .JPG.

If you find more than 55 ‘JFIF’-containing files (JFIF is a searchable text-string), that are over 100,000 bytes, then you want the ones that are appropriately dated... You could just empty the cache before saving the page as “Web Page, complete”, and that will cause Firefox to download fresh copies of the 55 image files.

Those 55 files stay in the cache (at they do least here), and they don’t get copied to the “files for”-folder of the “Web Page, complete” — the main page of which is saved to your Documents folder; the rest into a new sub-folder. (delete all that after saving the 55 images)

BTW, I don’t use Windows Explorer for all this, because this entire job can easily be completed in 2 or 3 minutes, if you use the correct tool, which is ZTreeWin: -

ZTreeWin does have a learning curve... but well worth it.. Start with the README.TXT and FAQ.TXT, found in the install folder; use F1 to access Help — Download the free trial. (I’m a long time user, with no vested interests.)
