Disable WebCacheV01.dat


Hi all, especially Sujay I hope.

I have just updated Windows 10 to the Aniversary version.
I have followed all the steps set out by Sujay to eliminate Windows – Continuous Disk Write + WebCacheV01.dat + V01.log – Issue

I have disabled “CacheTask“. To find this, open Task Scheduler from Administrative Tools, navigate to Microsoft > Windows > Wininet.
And I have eliminated the GUID
{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}

But I still have WebCacheV01.dat in this folder: C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache

And this file is 26MB and always come up when I run CCleaner.
Any help would be much appreciated to totally eliminate this.

Oh, one other thing, if I open REGEDIT and search for the GUID
{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}
I only find it in:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{0358b920-0ac7-461f-98f4-58e32cd89148}
Predetermined Type REG_SZ Data Wininit Cache Task Object
AppID Type REG_SZ {3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}


I would be gratefull for any help possible

 

Disable WebCacheV01.dat

Additionally to the steps above, what worked for me and has completely disabled the creation of WebCacheV01.dat is this.
Disable All the Addon's in IE, the only file now created is SuggestedSites.dat

Hope it helps

 

Saving a .dat file to Sd


I formatted the SD card in camera as instructed. I inserted it into the computer and copied the .dat file to it. It's not seen by the camera nor is it there when I put it back into the computer. I checked by doing it all again. Saved to Sd. Took the SD out of the computer. Put the SD back into the computer and the .dat file is gone. Insanity looms. The .dat file disappears from the SD.
