[QUOTE="remain, post: 357114, member: 23182"] The term "Temporary Internet Files" on Windows means Internet Explorer's cache. If it's indeed Safari's cache what you're looking for, then you'll find it at /Users/[your account name]/Library/Caches/Safari But unlike Internet Explorer's cache, the files do not retain their real file names (I assume, for security purposes) and you cannot open the files and view them. note: As for Firefox's cache, it should be at /Users/[your account name]/Library/Caches/Firefox/Profiles/[random characters].default/Cache The files do not retain their file names either; however, if you drag them into Firefox, they can be opened.
