Any ideas on what is causing my Tempory Internet Files to keep changing from 80mb to 0mb on the settings tab under Tools/ Internet Options/ Tempory Internet Files/ Settings. Once it has changed down to 0mb I can't download pages and CPU usage for IE 6 shoots up to 100%. Also the location of Tempory Internet Files Folder as listed on Settings goes blank. Has anyone ever seen this type of behaviour?

Thanks REGHAKR. When it does display a location for the tempory Internet Folder it is in "C:\Documents and Settings\YOURT NAME\Local Settings" Otherwise it is just blank. Would moving it when blank fix this part of the problem. Also when it is blank and the MB size is zero, clicking on OK just brings up an error message "Please submit a value for MB between 1 and 0" ???????? 1 and 0!!
this should do it:
