Pages and images you view on the internet are saved in a folder on your hard drive for quicker loading next time you visit the site. Cookies are also stored in this folder. Once you have the Temporary Internet Folder open, go to "View" and select "Details". This will show you the web address that the temporary files were received from. Under the menu item, "View/Arrange Icons" you can sort the files in different ways.

Files with a name similar to "anyname@something.com" are called cookies. If you double click on these files, they will probably open in Notepad and you will see a lot of gibberish and some readable text. There is usually not much usable information in a cookie, you can usually get more info from the file name and/or web site name. Please note that finding a cookie, for example, from a porn site, does not necessarily mean that someone went to that porn site. They could have just got one of those annoying pop-ups. However, if you see more than a few cookies from the same web site in the temporary internet folder, than it is much more likely that someone went to that web site on your PC.

Double click the mouse on any file that looks suspicious. If the file does not open or you get a message box that asks you which program to use to open the file, then just close it and try another file or try to open it with notepad. Try this technique again with the "Find All Files field set to "Modified".
