With Windows XP and Internet Explorer version 6 where in the file system
is the list of recently visited URLs that appear on the
address bar/line
when in Internet Explorer?

This use to be matched to a folder called Temporary Internet Files, but I
cannot find
such a folder.

Help appreciated

You can clear temp int files and history/address bar in IE: tools, internet
options. The folder are here:
C:\Documents and Settings\your user name here\Local Settings\History
C:\Documents and Settings\your user name here\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files

These are hidden folders so you have to have hidden folders set to show in
explorer: tools, folder options, view tab.
 
just enter this...

%SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files

or

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
 
C:\WINDOWS\Offline Web Pages

Supplementary Question>>>>

Does XP store these temp. int. files anywhere else?

I have checked all the folders mentioned, and files from many web pages that
can still be displayed offline are not in there.

If I search for a specific file from a web page that is displaying okay
offline, in order to figure the folder they are all stored in, XP search
fails to find it. I figure this file [and others] must still be on the
drive somewhere otherwise the page would nor display.

All thoughts on the matter greatfully received!

Put this another way - how can I be sure I've deleted ALL this content even
after I cleared the usual user profile/local setings stuff?

Just run the following command to get them...


%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\History

and

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files


Use environment variables %BLAH% if you want to make it easier or automate
things.
