I have Vista Premium Home Edition. I have tried everything, from unhiding the
files, to reading all these posts with suggestions, and nothing has worked. I
visited a website before in Windows XP, and those files are all in my temp
internet file folder. I cannot locate them in Vista. Please will someone
help me. I have heard the files are hidden in several locations, but I have
been unable to find them. thanks for your help.

You could try this. Open the Start Menu, and type shell:cache in the Start
Search box. Press Enter on your keyboard. In the Address box, what is the
path? Are there any files in the folder that pops up?
 
Try this:

First, in Control Panel > Folder Options, on the View tab, do two things.
Choose to "Show hidden files and folders", and UN-check "Hide protected
operating system files (Recommended)". (Apply, OK).

Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard. Copy and paste this in the Run
box:

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5

Are there any files in the alphanumerically named folders in the window that
pops up? If not, use the address bar to go "up" a couple directories, to
the Temporary Internet Files folder, and then double-click on another folder
called Content.IE5. Are there any files in those alphanumerically named
folders?
 
Hi,

In Internet Options, on the Advanced tab, make sure that 'Empty Temporary
Internet Files folder when the browser is closed' is unchecked.
