Where is this file located?

[Clark]

When I search my C: drive, I get some entries like the ones below. Where
would I find these files, maybe online somewhere? Is there a physical
location, or only in memory.


Name In Folder

Yahoo com
Yahoo.au demo/plugin/applets

Thanks,

From the associated source. For Yahoo, perhaps you have
their toolbar or something else installed. Look in
add/remove programs, your start menu, etc.

There is no "file" only in memory. Better question is why
do you need to find these?

"Better question is why do you need to find these?"

Because I like to keep track of my system.

I am starting to think it has something to do with IE7. My cookies folder
no longer shows as a normal folder, but a hidden folder and the things in it
don't look like cookies. A bunch of .gif and .jpg files plus other stuff.

My other computer (non-IE7) has no files showing at nondescript locations.
I have found some of the files and they seem to be in TEMP folders and
associated with java or compresses files.

Oh well, something to investigate! ;-)
