Does anyone know where the file cache.txt is?
I used an internet cleaner a while ago and it allowed me to view this file before it was deleted and was quite shocked to read it logged every internet activity since I installed Windows. I have since uninstalled this particular cleaner and I cannot remember the name of it.

Is there a way of finding this file without the aid of a third party software to discover it.
Searching for it in windows finds no results.
Thanks in advance.

If it doesn't show up in the search results, go to Tools > Folder Options > View Tab and uncheck the box next to "Hide protected system files" and then do a search again.

This may not be a normal windows file.

There is an Exploit with a similar name.

It places a file called windows.passwd.cache.txt in your explorer directory, this allows an easy hack into your system.

Searth the registry for this also you may find some rementants of it.

Pestpatrol would probably find it also.
