I don't have to repeat what about you crap, ill explanation. Just answer
what the Asker needs.

Here is my answer:

Internet Option--Find the Browsing History and click on Setting button.
This time "Temporay Internet Fiels and History Settings Windows pops up.
Now, You Are Talking...
Click on View Files....it is all in there.

That's all folk...Don't listen to guy like Candy...who acts like a "Geek"

Explorer is a namespace browser. It does not work with files at all but with shell objects. Most files are shell objects. If you copy a file object explorer doesn't do a file copy but a shell copy (and somewhere deep down if it a file to file copy then the file system part of windows will take over). But it may be the desktop internet icon. This is not a file (incl shortcuts), it is not stored in the file system, it's a shell object.

Most folders on your computer are viewed using the file folder viewer, but not all. My Docs, My Pics, My Music (but not video) also use the file viewer but these are 1/2 way objects. Control Panel, Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, History (it's a database), Fonts, My Computer, Desktop, and others are all viewed with a whatever viewer (eg fonts with a font viewer, cookies with a cookies viewer [and Temporary Internet Files viewer will also show the cookies even though they are not there]).

Some of these objects are backed by a file folder which is where they store their data (view your downloaded program files (in C:\windows) - anything you see there will usually have TWO files stored in the file system per object shown by the Downloaded Programs Viewer.

The history viewer stored it's database file in it's file folder yet shows the contents of the database if you browse to the viewer.

When you, say open a folder, explorer doesn't say open c:\somefolder, it says open 1245:6544 which is it's identity in the shell namespace.

So, prior to XP viewing anyones TIF, another users or another computers via a network will load the TIF viewer program which will always show your Temporary Internet Files no matter who you are looking at. Because Explorer Open the folder, gets told it's special and to use the TIF viewer not the file folder viewer. The TIF viewer will only ever show you yours as it doesn't know how to show anyone's elses. With XP it loads the File Folder viewer if it's not your own TIF as this really confused people.

So if you want to view TIF as a file folder (and the file names are not the same as the object names - there is a database matching the two names together) then log on as a user other than you. Also TIF only shows completed downloaded pages. There will be other files where you cancelled the page before it finished downloading and OE uses it to show html mail.

Repeat after me, EXPLORER IS NOT A FILE MANAGER, and again, EXPLORER IS NOT A FILE MANAGER.

Logon as an "Administrator" (NOT you) on your system and then go to
Explorer. You will probably see the "Content.IE5" folder in its proper place
under your "user account" !! I believe this folder is hidden normally, even
if you have administrative permissions, when you logon as you...... I have
seen this issue on many machines but have not seen the "fix" for it if one
exists.

Mine is the only user account on my computer that does not have a
Content.IE5 folder in the Temp Internet Files folder.
After deleting the temp internet files I check the properties of the Temp
Internet Files folder and it shows the size on disk to be 1.3 MB, 155
files
in 5 folders.
There are no hidden files but something is there somewhere. Hoe do I find
them and make the Content.IE5 folder visible?
