Question:
How to locate cookies and temporary internet folders?
I searched for these in Documents and Settings. I couldn't locate both these folders. I use both IE and Firefox. Is there a way to locate these? Can we find Cache also?

to find the folders go to C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
Local Settings Folder is invisible. you will have to turn on See Invisible Files
within IE6: right click on IE icon and select Internet Properties. in the middle you will see Temporary Internet Files
within IE7: right click on IE icon and Select Internet Properties. you will see Browsing History in the middle and click on Delete

Thanks. However, I want to know if there is a way to get these files in a folder so that I can use a wiper program to delete the entire folder instead of deleting each file.

Or use CCleaner if you're lazy like me
P.S. Small Q
I have found if you "delete" cookies and temp files from the browser menus, then close and use ccleaner, it still finds a fair amount. IE more guilty than FF in this regard. Just curious

ie -> internet option -> advanced -> check the option "empty temp.. folder/file when browser closes"
cheers ...

Yes CCleaner can clear all the temporary files of IE and FF, it also has the option to use secure delete as well, so they can't be recovered.
