Question about 'Special folders no longer work like they should'

I have a question about Special folders no longer work like they should:

Under WindowsXP, the following directory C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ is used to keep all cookies but also contains a subdirectory, "Content.IE5", used to temporary store some files automatically downloaded by internet when you click some links on a web page. I have this subdirectory missing, therefore some of my internet downloads fail : the file is downloaded to 99% then a window pops up saying that : C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\XXXXXX\FileName could not be found where XXXXXX is a weird directory name. There is no way to create any new directory under "Temporary Internet Files" And if a create a new user the C:\Documents and Settings\New UserName\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\ is created but not the Content.IE5 subdirectory. Does anyone know how to correct this By the way I am using Internet Explorer (V6.0) Thanks to anyone for helping me to solve this pb
