I recently had Windows 98 re-installed along with Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. When clicking on Explore then Temporay Internet Files the only file shows up is Content EI5 and desktop ini. How do I set my computer to show all my Temporay Internet Files like they did prior having the re-installs?

Without seeing your computer this is a hard one to figure out. But I suggest doing the following two things to help resolve your problem.

Firstly, ensure that hidden files are displayed - from Windows Explorer this can be achieved by selecting the Tools drop down menu when you are in Windows Explorer followed by the Folder Options. From the window that appears select the View Tab and then locate the Hidden Files setting - from here you can choose the option to display hidden files and folders - this may resolve your problem, however it is unlikely that Temporary Internet Files will be set as hidden.

Secondly, check to see where the Temporary Interent Files are being saved to, this can be done by selecting the Tools Drop down menu from the Internet Explorer window followed by the settings option under the Temporary Internet Files section.

In the window that appears you should be able to see the location that the temporary internet files are being saved to - if this is not the location that you are looking in when you are going to Windows Explorer you can change the location from this menu.
