Where do you find temp internet files?

Question

Where on your PC do you find the pictures and old websites you have been to? I found a really helpful website and now can't find it and I've looked on the histroy thing but I can't remember when I went there!

Answer 1

While the temp files are looked under c:\docments and settings\your_Logon_ID\Temporary Internet Files, they probably will not help you to find the site.

What is normally stored in the folder is all the pictures from a webiste. And those are stored with the name of the picture, not the web site. So they would probably NOT be useful for you to locate that site. But looking at the pictures, you might be able to see if someone was looking at porn or something. But unless one of the pictures was a picture of the web site name and logo, they would not help you. Plus, a very limited amount of space is allocated from temp internet files. Usually you only have files from the last 2-3 days on your PC.
