First, and you may already have done this, in Control Panel > Folder
Options, on the View tab, do two things. Choose to "Show hidden files and
folders", and UN-check "Hide protected operating system files
(Recommended)". (Apply, OK).
If the alphanumerically named folders in Content.IE5 contain no files, then
your "real" Temporary Internet Files folder may be elsewhere, and not in the
default path. In the following two keys in the Registry Editor, what is the
Data value for "Cache" (no quotes)?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
The default is C:\Users\(YOU)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Tem porary Internet Files
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
The default is %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temp orary Internet Files
