I Recently Had My Hard Drive On My Computer Cleaned?

Question

and WindowsXP reinstalled, but now I cannot find my Temporary Internet File Folders. It Use to be under my Documents and Settings, but no longer. Where can it be?

Answer 1

Try opening up Search, and type in "tmp"

That will bring up your files, favorites, and history I believe.

Answer 2

This is one of many temporary directories that are deleted during "cleaning". They contain temporary information that won't cause problems if deleted, and are deleted to free up disk space.

If you ran a "cleaner", and it deleted your temp internet files folder, It's gone.

IE will create a new one the next time you run it.

Answer 3

It's probably hidden

Go to Folder Settings and click show hidden files and folder and you should be able to see it.

Answer 4

If the machine is set up correctly it should actually be hidden and a system folder. This is for full safety. There should NEVER be any need to access it, and leaving it visible is dangerous to the system.
