Once upon a time a history of web page addresses accessed in the past were
easy to find ( as far as I can remember they were listed in a temporary
internet folder or similar). They are still there (ie in the computer)
because they can be listed by IE but I cannot find the folder ( or file) in
which they are now stored. Where are they ? ( I have Windows XP ).

The same applies to temporary audio or graphic files which are generated
during the downloading of various music or movie clips etc. When these are
downloaded from a web page ( in some cases) the audio and/or visuals stop
and start spasmodically the first time indicating the data stream is not
arriving fast enough to allow a smooth display. If such a download is then
immediately replayed all is OK and a smooth presentation occurs. This at
least to me indicates that on 2nd showing the display utilises a temporary
file which was generated on the initial download. These temporary files used
to be stored in a "Temporary Internet file" folder. Alas this also seems to
has disappeared. Can anyone also advise where they have gone to ?? Tnks

To see them:
In IE, Tools menu > Internet options > General tab > Under Browsing history,
click the Settings button > Now you'll see the location of temporary files,
history, cookies, saved passwords, and web form information. Click the View
button to view the files.
