Anybody who knows XP well out there?

seraiI've got a question.
When I was using Windows 98, if there was a video or audio clip that I downloaded from the web and wanted to save, I could just go into the Windows section on my C: drive, go to Temporary Internet Files, find the file, copy it and paste it into any file of my choice on my hard drive. But now with XP, I find that isn't the case. I can't find where the computer is caching the temporary files. I tried searching, telling XP to look in hidden folders - nothing. I did find a folder called "Temporary Internet Files" but the damn thing is completely empty!
Does anyone know where those files would be going, or if this is even possible in XP? I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't. Fucking Microsoft never seem to know when to leave anything alone; they've always got to fuck with things that work just fine. *grrr*
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can answer this for me.
