Temporary internet files get cleaned out when I do a drive clean, usually once a week, or at most once a fortnight, so I guess I would mean cookies, and possibly thumbnail cache

cache is on the ram -the system memory, it gets cleaned up everytime u re-start the computer, if cookies, then u can view it with windows explorer path such as C:\Documents and Settings\"Username"\Cookies\

it'll show u all the cookies and then u can be selective from there :D

The term is also used to refer to a program's cache which would be on the hdd.

just felt like being a picky barstard ;)
