GPO to delete Temporary Internet Files Not working

$

0

I have  set the setting in both computer and user policies "<a gpmc_settingdescription="This policy setting allows you to manage whether Internet Explorer deletes the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder after all browser windows are closed. This protects against storing dangerous files on the computer, or storing sensitive files that other users could see, in addition to managing total disk space usage.

If you enable this policy setting, Internet Explorer will delete the contents of the user's Temporary Internet Files folder when all browser windows are closed.

If you disable this policy setting, Internet Explorer will not delete the contents of the user's Temporary Internet Files folder when browser windows are closed.

If you do not configure this policy, Internet Explorer will not delete the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder when browser windows are closed." gpmc_settingname="Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed" gpmc_settingpath="User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Internet Explorer/Internet Control Panel/Advanced Page" gpmc_supported="At least Internet Explorer 6.0 in Windows 2003 Service Pack 1" href="">Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed"

gpresults shows the policy applied, but it does not appear that temp files are being deleted.  I'm not sure how to verify this because I don't think the box that says delete all browsing history on exit" should be checked since I don't want to delete everything.  I don't see any check box on IE 8 that matches the verbiage in the GPMC.

Note:  I do not want to delete" all browsing history" or cookies or passwords.  I only want to specifically delete temporary Internet files when the browser is closed.

The computers are Windows 7 64-bit with IE 8.

What needs to be done to get this to work as expected?
