How do I view the contents of the Temporary files and WebClient folders? Thanks.

Right-click the hard drive’s icon (which says “C:”), then click “Properties”. You see a pie chart.

Click the “Disk Cleanup” button.

The computer shows a list of file types. For example, Windows XP shows this list:

o Downloaded Program Files

o Temporary Internet Files

o Offline Web Pages

o Recycle Bin

o Setup Log Files

o Temporary files

o WebClient/Publisher Temporary Files

o Compress old files

o Catalog files for the Content Indexer

 
In Windows 2000, on the Disk Cleanup screen is a button "View Files", which is available for most categories. Apparently XP is missing this button. (stupid M$)
 
The view files button is not available for all files in xp.

Is there a direct way to access the temporary files folder?
 
In Explorer, go to \Documents and Settings\{your username}\Local Settings\
There you will find the Temp, Temporary Internet and History directories.
You may have to change the View-options for Explorer (show hidden and system files)
 
Thanks realblackstuff, that worked for the temp folder. Do you know where I can view the web client/publisher folder?
