"Also found Temporary Internet Files moved to C:\windows\Localsettings\ApplicationData\TemporaryInternet."

My locations:

C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings\Application Data Folder.

C:\WINDOWS\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files Folder (TIF).

The(TIF) is not in an Application Data Sub-Folder.

I did not move the (TIF) in the Internet Properties/Temporary Internet Files/Settings, the (TIF) was changed during a "Build" update to Internet Explorer--not sure which one now, been awhile.

Internet Explorer updates were noted to mess with Explorer Folders.
