Temporary Internet Files

WinXP-Pro and IE7. My temporary internet files are located in the default
location, C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\

There have usually been four sub-folders (named with seemingly random
letters and numbers) and an index.dat file. Because I view a lot of
confidential financial information online, I want to shred the TIF instead
of the less secure delete. I tried CCleaner, but that still left some files
recoverable. I then tried Eraser but, after using that application, I no
longer have the four subfolders nor an index.dat file. All of the temporary
internet files are now in the pathname shown above. All seems to be working
well; is it OK to be without the four subfolders as well as no more
index.dat file? Or, are they just not visible. I have to change the view to
allow hidden as well as system files to be able to see the files and run
Eraser. Thanks!
