As most know, your web browser stores all text, code and images you view online in a cache, stored as temporary files on your PC. IE usually places your temp internet files in some long directory under “Documents and Settings”. You can view the contents of this folder through IE. Go to Tools/Internet Options. Under the “General” tab click the “Settings” button for Temporary Internet Files. Click the “View Files” button near the bottom of the window. But, if you want to move the temp directory to something a little more easier to access, just hit the “Move Folder” button on that same screen, enter a new location, and after restarting all of your internet cache files will be stored in the new place. This makes it more accessible and in a more obvious location.
