IE9 file caching

Just a note that might interest a few people if you don't know it already or want to retrieve downloaded videos or streamed files. MS has done things really differently with the latest version of IE9 32bit and 64bit. The cache points to:

C:\Users\<user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Wi ndows\Temporary Internet Files

but it is in fact somewhere else in a hidden directory which is:

C:\Users\<user profile>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Wi ndows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5

You'll have to set you windows explorer to view hidden files and directories. In this new location you will see a bunch of hidden directories named alphanumerically. These are used to hold the various files in the cache. When you clean you browser cache the files are deleted and the directories emptied but they remain. It is safe to delete them manually. IE9 will create new ones.
