Temporary Internet files
Normally you'd find the Temporary Internet files folder while browsing through the WINDOWS folder in My Computer. I couldn't find it, so I had to go through internet options to find it. Is that normal in XP or am I blind?

Oh, oops. Lol thanks Lobos!
EDIT: I go into My Computer, type in that path with my user name in it, then hit enter, and it all appears. I take off Local settings at the end, hit enter, and there's no folder titled Local settings. So if I was to search for my temp files folder without copying and pasting the path into the search box all the time, I wouldn't be able to find it. Eh?

Rather than dig for different files, why not just run Disk Cleanup and wipe out all the junk in one stroke? Before you delete files, go to the other options tab and delete all but the most recent restore point too.
