Hi Diane: Nope, all the files Vicky mentioned were the cookies and temp files she was looking for. None of them had to do with the PK's programming, or they wouldn't be found in those subdirectories.
Also, I was aware that the PK had a bug in which the temp files and cookies could not be deleted from the internet options menu, but I still don't understand why these files wouldn't be able to be accessed directly, as it is just the same procedure of accessing any other document through keyword.
