Hi. I'm new to XP, and I have  file names in my
Temp/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5 folders that
are too long. They won't let me delete or rename them.
They start with "tournaments;feat=tournaments;tour=....."

When I run 'sfc /scannow', I am prompted with 'Insert
Your Windows XP Proffessional Service Pack 2 CD Now'
numerous times.  I am then prompted to insert the Windows
XP Home Edition CD numerous times.  I am not running XP

Can anyone tell me how to go about opening or viewing the contents of tmp files
Specifically several large file with names like   "~PDT1309.tmp".
Thank
