Set you explorer view options to 'show full path in address bar'. Navigate to you temporary
internet files directory, the address bar should look like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Keith\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Click in the address bar to select it, then click again to position the cursor at the end. Type:

\content.ie5

So that the full address bar looks like:

C:\Documents and Settings\Keith\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

Press <Enter> and you're in!!!

Why don't you clear that folder by going to Control Panel | Internet Options
| General tabb and delete files, be sure and tick delete offline content.

You can view the contents of that folder by typing in the full path in Start
| Run.
example: "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\content.ie5"
 
You're welcome. Glad it's gone.
