I can understand why you'd ask :)
Well, my "opera:about" tab says (directly copying and pasting):
Cache
C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4\
While my Windows Explorer's "Address" field says
(also directly copying and pasting):
C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile\cache4
(as well as being populated with currently time-stamped files,
in the only instance of Opera ever yet used on this [new] computer).
So yes, I think these are the same.
"Properties" of "dcache4" in that folder says it's 20 bytes,
but of course Windows is showing that as a "shortcut"
(and hiding its extension, even though not hiding other files' extensions),
so I'll try opening a "command window" (cmd.exe) and doing a DIR command:
07/31/2008 12:17 AM 20 dcache4.url
1 File(s) 20 bytes
Hmm... now I'll try "command.com" and then a DIR command:
07/31/2008 12:22 AM 20 dcache4.url
1 File(s) 20 bytes
It could be that Windows is up to some tricks,
hiding the real file, but I just can't seem to figure out
how to find out if that's the case (how did Ed Jay get his info?)
I'll report back later if I gain any further insight.
Thanks again.
