Oh, playing stupid again, huh? And with similar stupidity and
deliberate blindness in a response:

No, there is no "Internet Tem,porary Files" folder (unless you created
it yourself).

How many folders have you ever seen created by Microsoft's software that
included the comma character? Gee, it couldn't have been a typo, nah.

..tif *files* can be in ANY folder. They are hardly restricted to just
one folder or your short-list of folders below. Context is always
important. I never mentioned TIF *files*.

A *folder* is obviously never a .tif *file*. Duh! Reread the subject
header for this thread. Hmm, now where might I have gotten "TIF" from?
Nah, it couldn't have been from the OP's own subject, nuh uh.

http://www.acronymfinder.com/TIF.html
3rd entry down.
Context of the OP's post eliminates the 2nd entry.

I said TIF /*FOLDER*/, just like the OP did in his subject header.

The OP was only interested in where was *his* TIF folder. He doesn't
care about others that may exist that he doesn't use. He doesn't care
about your TIF folders. Just the FOLDER that *he* asked about.

Time for you to go get another cup of NON-decaf coffee, or perhaps
another slug on that can of Jolt soda.

Shenan, I think you're being baited by Twayne. He sometimes plays
tollishly stupid to engender this type of subthread. From this point,
I'll just respond to the OP who is the one asking for help.

Robert,
Select My Computer> TOOLS> Folder Options> View tab> Clear box for, "Do Not
Show Hidden Files and Folders".
The Local Settings Folder should now be visible under Document and Settings
for each user.

Okay, it's showing Documents and Setting/User/Local Settings/Temporary
Internet Files just like in XP. But when I go to Local Settings in
Explorer it's not there. I have folder options on Local Settings set to
show hidden folders.

Robert,
It should have been:
****
1. Select My Computer> TOOLS> Folder Options> View tab> Select box to Show
Hidden Files and Folders".
2. The Local Settings Folder should now be visible under Document and
Settings
for each user.
****
Instead Of:

Select My Computer> TOOLS> Folder Options> View tab> Clear box for, "Do Not
Show Hidden Files and Folders".
The Local Settings Folder should now be visible under Document and Settings
for each user.

lol, You guys are the kings of ratioinalizers whether there's any use for it
or not. Saying something does not change the facts.
