I posted this last night but, it doesn't seem to have posted. I can't
view Temporary Internet files in: %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\
%username%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files. Same is true for
my History (same basic path). Is there a way to get back the ability
to view them? If I search, they are found just invisible. *** I have
the radio button checked for "Show hidden files and folders" Anyway,
is there a way?

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions
Graham

Graham,

In Folder Options, also try these:

Display Contents of System Folders - Check - in this items box
Hide Protected Operating System Files - Uncheck - in this items box

Brian,

Let me also thank you because I was having the same problem.

However, when I right click on the cookies and temp int files, the hidden
box is both checked and greyed out. Is there a way to uncheck them?
