1. Getting directory information on Temporary Internet Files

I can't get all the directory information on the temporary internet 
files folder.  When ever I use dir("c:\\windows\temporary internet 
files") it only returns two files (desktop.ini and Content.IE5), and I 
know there are hundreds of files.  How can i get it to return the 
information on all the files?

That's all I get too - because Content.IE.5 is a directory.
Look into it, and you'll see an index file, plus lots of other 
directories with strange names.  Look inside those, and you'll 
see actual files (gif's, etc)

The directory Content.IE5 contains directories, which names
are random chosen 8 characters ( I suppose for security reasons).
In the directories are the files.
For some reasons, for some apps is dir Temporary Internet Files
directory or its subdirs hidden.
