c.horn,

What you describe no doubt is what you see, but I don't have the ContentIE6 folder. Perhaps it as an artifact of my installation of IE6, but it created the Windows/Local Settings/TIF folder containing ContentIE5, which contains the cryptic named folders like in your ContentIE6. I never bothered to go into IE6 to set up a different default.

Like you, I empty my TIF frequently, deleting all the files and cookies and deleting ContentIE5. At every restart of the computer it creates them all again with a file called desktop.ini in ContentIE5 and each of the four sub folders. There is also one directly in the TIF.

I've always thought it odd that my System Information page shows that I am running IE 5 6.0.2600.000. Perhaps it is some weird upgrade of IE5, or Windows treats it like it is. But when I open IE and look at Help\About IE it just says version 6.0.2600.000. It definitely is more stable than IE5.x ever was.
