How to Download SWF Games from Website with IE


Have you ever played swf games on the website, such as Zombie Trailer Park, Coma, and other most popular swf games? We will find more and more swf games in the website. Most of these games are easy to play and very interesting. Sometime we want to download them to the local to play when offline.

And we can download swf games in Firefox easily with special extension, and how about if for an IE user? As a Microsoft Internet Explorer user (IE 6), I find an easy way to grab the swf game in IE without any add-on. It stores everything from the website in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder. We can wait for the game loading finished, and then get it in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder.

Step 1: Open the Microsoft Internet Explorer

Step 2: In Microsoft Internet Explorer, open the tools menu and select the Internet Options. Now we will find a new window called "Internet Properties".

Step 3: In the "Internet Properties" window, we will find Temporary Internet Files section, click "Setting…" button. A new "Setting" window will appear.

Step 4: In the "Setting" windows, click "View Files" button. After a delay, you will find all Temporary Internet Files that stored in your computer and there location on the local hard drives. Also it display the URL that where you can find the Temporary Internet Files. And in the folder maybe there are more files, so you should use the search bar and type ".swf" to find the swf game file.

Step 5, Right-click it and select copy, paste it in the desktop. Click to run it.

Note: if you have ever cleaned the Temporary Internet Files, so you need to open the swf game page to load it again. Or you can get a swf converter to have a try and download the swf game files with the game website URL. Also you can record the playing game, convert to other formats to share on the web or play it on the phone and computer later. Taking MP4 format for example, the article shows you more details of how to download SWF files and convert swf to mp4 for viewing on most of Media Players or portable devices.
