Thanks everyone for your tips - still not sure why I cannot find that
folder though......
I can easily find on other computers but just not on the computer in
question.

You need to also enable showing hidden and system folders.

For Interenet Explorer, the cache is in a T I F subfolder named
"content.ie5", and there are cryptically named folders under that. The
content.ie5 folder can be hard to display, but if you can establish the
complete path, and then enter that into the Start, Run line, or an Explorer
address bar, you'll be taken there.

A command prompt can help with this, and the Command Prompt Here power toy
is very helpful. Use the DIR /ah command to show the hidden files, which
will include the content.ie5 folder. You can then use the Attrib command
to un-hide it.

Using Win XP Pro. I was giving some instructions to a friend so she could
see where her kids may have been surfing the internet but we could not
find the Temporary Internet Files folder. Show hidden files and folders
has been enabled. We have looked thru all "users" but nothing. Using
"search" we cannot find the folder. Where to now?
