How do I view my Temporary Internet Files. I find the
folder yet instead of having the files I have looked up
online it shows a folder: Content.IE5 and a notepad file:
Desktop. In the Content.IE5 there are several folders:
2NWTQNAH for example. With the Desktop notepad file in
each folder. How do I find out which internet sites have
been looked up?

You are probably looking at another account. Look for this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\[Your account]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5

An easier way to see where you have been is to press ctrl+h in an IE
window.

Are you "opening" your temp internet folder or "exploring"?
I have found this to affect whether all temp internet
cache files are listed together vs. having them subdivided
into the seperate "content" folders. Be aware that when
you "open" the temp internet folder it can take some time
to list the files depending on size of your cache. I find
it handy to use "open" when I wish to sort these files
by "internet address" or "file type" since having the
files all subdivided into "content" folders defeats any
attempt to sort. Also be aware that attempts to copy
these files may result in many files not making the trip
due to same name---this cache operates by webpage NOT
filename. You have to manually rename every saved file
prior to successfully copying another "webpage" with the
same "filename". One other point---these are "hidden"
files, so you must uncheck appropriate folder view
settings.
 
Hi, Christian.

TIFs are not dealt with in the "normal" way by Windows and IE. The best way
to explore them is from within IE. Click Tools | Internet Options... On
the first (General) tab is a button to Delete Files..., but there is also a
button for Settings... Click the Settings button and then View Files... in
a Windows Explorer-like screen. You should see all the Content.1E5 folders
in a single integrated listing.
