On my old pc(win95) I could view thumbnails of all the media files in temp int files folder using the software that came with my scanner, open and work with them. Now with xp home 'file' 'open' 'win' 'temp int files' same as before there is nothing there, what am I doing wrong or can you not view these with xp? I'm sure it is not the software that is the problem, is there some other software that I can use to do this?

Temp internet files are located in documents and settings folder under XP not the window folder as with 9x etc. Documents and settings\[user name]\Local settings\Temporary internet files. where [user name] is your user name. HTH Biz
