Yes Don.
That's where it shows Temporary Internet Files folder to be located. But
when I do navigate there via Windows Explorer, I find a number of oddly
named subfolders with Firefox type files in them. It seems that the IE 7
files are deleted, as they should be, since I haveIE advanced options set to
delete IE Cache when the browser is shut .
My question is:
Can I safely delete those oddly named subfolders within the TIF at the
above-mentioned address?
Thanks again:

I did try deleting that folder directly from %Temp% , but it didn't
recreate itself at Startup. So I restored it from the Recycle Bin..

Thanks Don:
I can't seem to delete all the cache via the IE 7 browser, as Firefox is now
my default browser. The cache files which remain in those TIF subfolders are
Firefox type files. I have IE 7 set up so as to delete IE cache when browser
shuts down.
Would it be safer to simply delete the individual cache items in the TIF
folder? Clearing the cache from within Firefox doesnt get rid of these
either, as it seems Firefox stores it's cache files elsewhere.
Thanks in advance:
