temporary internet files

[Gabriela Mendosa]

I wanted to look at the stuff in temporary internet files so I went to
Internet Options, Temporary Internet Files and History Settings, and poked
"show files" and it displayed a little more than a screenful of files. None
of them had a remote URL, they all appeared to be from my local hard disk. I
brought up the properties dialog for the directory -- it was in something
like C:\users\<userid>\appdata\local\microsoft\windows -- and it said there
was over 100 meg of files in the directory, but the files it was showing
added up to less than 100K. So there are plenty of downloaded files in the
directory, it just isn't showing them. I opened Folder Options and told it
to display protected operating system files, but that didn't help.

With XP and IE6, the "show files" button showed all the files downloaded
from the internet.

Is there some way to get Vista to display these files?

Thanks,
Gabriela

Thanks for the info.

The essential element is the directory "Low" inside Temporary Internet
Files. I noticed in the Cookies directory, all the cookies are actually in
the Low subdirectory.

Weirdly, though, on my computer, there is no Low subdirectory in Temporary
Internet Files. I even closed all my IE windows and disabled protected
mode, but that didn't bring Low to life.

Have you heard anything about Low sometimes going missing?
