Copied and pasted my original message
and reply to my message here. Followed
advice and trashed the items. They
reappear about once a week. Trashed
them again this morning. Why do they continue to reappear in trash can about once a week?

I'm embarrassed to admit, I don't even
remember what I did a couple of weeks
ago, but this is my delima now. There are
two items in my trash. Decided I'd better
take a look at them before emptying,
They are both folders and they both say
Rescued items from mac hd. When I
double click, one says download cache,
the other says IE cache.lck . If I double
click they take me to internet explorer and
the curser just keeps spirling. I don't
understand any of this. Is it okay to put
them back in the trash and empty it?

Has your Mac crashed at all in the last two weeks?

Yes, It's crashed. Sorry for the delay in
answering. Never found items rescued
from hd in trash before. Maybe it's
because I went from 9.0.4 to 9.1 and
things work differently? Appreciate your
help.

Every time the Mac crashes, temporary stuff gets "recovered" to the Trash.

Well-written apps will take this data and do something useful with it; for instance, WordPerfect will take the data and reconstruct whatever you were working on at the time of the crash.

IE doesn't do anything with it, and those files that keep appearing are useless.

BTW, throw out IE and use iCab instead and you won't have this problem.
