Temporary Internet Files

Hello,

When I use Windows explorer to look at the contents of TIF on my PC I
see dozens of objects -- cookies, GIFs, ICOs, HTMs, etc.

When I open a command prompt in the same folder, the dir command only
lists 3 folders: AntiPhishing, Content.Outlook, and FrontPageTempDir.
I'm mystified because none of these appear in explorer, and none of
explorer's files appear in the directory list.

Can anyone explain this to me? I'm using XP with SP2 installed and
have no files or extensions hidden by default.

Temporary Internet Files and folders are hidden by default.
