Hi Gary,
It's there.
It's burried in your temp. internet files folder.
Make sure you have "hide protected operating system files" disabled in
windows explorertoolsoptionsfolder options, the view tab.

Another twist to this mystery:

I'm using Internet Explorer V 6. So why does the Target point to
Content.IE5? That's the V 5 folder. There is no Content.IE5, 6, or
anything
else folder. The shortcut is not that old. It has the shortcut filename is
"083104[1].xls" which is the file downloaded Yesterday using IE 6.

This is getting really weird!

It's like my computer is holding the file hostage and won't let me get to
its location. lol!

One reason for this is downloading the file into a temporary directory
which already has a file
with the same name. I've also seen it in some email systems, when an
attachment is opened.

I have a situation where a user downloads an xls file from the internet
and
the process adds a number in brackets to the resulting filename.

Original file: 083104.xls
Result: 083104[1].xls

What causes this?
No biggie, just wondering.
