Internet Options in Control Panel or via the Tools menu in Internet
Explorer. Disk Cleanup will also address these files for you. And IE has a
setting to clear the TIF folder when you close the program.

The actual location of the folders are:
Documents and Settings\<you>\Cookies
Documents and Settings\<you>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

The Local Settings folder and its contents are hidden. Use Folder Options>
View to make the change to show hidden folders and files.
