No, it doesnt. The Internet files are contained in a sandbox-isolated
from the rest of Vista.

Disabling UAC is a very bad idea. Malware will be able to run and
execute bypassing User authorization prompts, opening up the risk of
click jacking and embedded Drive by downloads and other malware. Bad
Advice there.

Try using "CCleaner"--free download and a very useful and powerful
application. It will get to all Temp files (including internet temp). Just
select those files that you are sure that you want it to look for.
