Vista OS Question

   Can someone tell me how to see the Vista path - C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\? Is there some Vista OS parameter not set correctly? I am registered as both a user and an administrator on my Vista machine and none of the folder attributes are hidden.  I can drill down to C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows but do not see Temporary Internet Files in this last subfolder. 
   I have no problem navigating the path to ...\Internet Files\Content.IE5 on my XP machine but I can't see it on my newer machine.
Thanks,

    In Explorer, Tools>Folder Options>View tab and UNcheck "Hide protected operating system files".

    Great - glad that worked. A word of caution however - you should probably change this settingback to "Hide" after you look at whatever you want to look at. Just a small safety procedure that will prevent a critical system file from being accidentally deleted or moved.
