Jack C -

It does work that way in Internet Explorer, or in Windows Explorer which is essentially the same program. (You can go to a folder on your own computer by putting its address in the URL space in Internet Explorer.)

The only difficulty is that you have to remember the URL to type it in, and "spell it" correctly; and in Windows the browser "Temporary Internet Files" is buried fairly deeply in the tree in a place you're not likely to visit frequently enough to remember it all.

The Command Prompt SET command typically shows something like:

TEMP=C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp

Each user account has a separate Temp location for the browsing that user does.

The methods I described amount to the same thing, but use Windows Explorer directly to display the files. Clicking the "View Files" in Internet Explorer just opens a Windows Explorer view that lists them. You should be able to do essentially the same thing in any browser.
