Why has my <user name>/Local Settings/Temp folder yesterday suddenly started
showing Temp Internet Files, History & Cookies folders?

I always have 'Show hidden files & folders' enabled but haven't changed any
other settings.
 
check to see someone unchecked the delete the Temporary Intenet files in the tools\Internet options and then scroll down the advanced tab

I have these:

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Local Settings\History
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\History
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Local Settings\History

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Cookies
C:\WINDOWS\Cookies
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Cookies
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Cookies
 
Yep, that's normal.
But you don't have -
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary
Internet Files
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Local Settings\Temp\Cookies
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\Local Settings\Temp\History

Ah, well, a mystery - I'll just delete them.
 
Thanks a lot :-), but I doubt it. I later noticed they all had the same
creation date, so I think an uninstall I did played silly buggers.
They're gone to God now & haven't come back.
