More on where Windows 7 puts important files

My section of this week's WindowsSecrets Newsletter:

LANGALIST PLUS More on where Windows 7 puts important files By Fred Langa PC users who have made the jump from Windows XP to Windows 7 are in for a surprise when they go looking for temporary files. In the Feb. 25 Windows Secrets newsletter, I answered the question, "Where did 'Documents and Settings' go in Win7?" This week, a subscriber wants to know where Win7 puts temporary Internet files. Reader R. Jones wants access to his Win7 temporary Internet files, but he can't find them where they used to be in XP. "In Win7, how do I see temporary files while I'm on the Internet? With XP, the temporary files were available under 'local settings.' Now, when I search for 'temporary files' I see several choices for dealing with such files but I don't see a path to a temporary folder."
