Looking for cfid and cftoken in temporary internet files. Using IE8. There are many files there and do not see any recently updated that are not for something else.

What are cftoken and cfid named?

What other places could they be?

Locate the folder Local Settings. It may be hidden, so first "unhide" it.

Right-click on it, and then on Search.... Enter the wildcard *.txt in the field Search for files or folders named: . You will recognize cookies as text files whose name contains the @ character. The name of a Coldfusion cookie file will also contain the domain name of the server running Coldfusion.

For example, my machine has the cookie file bkbk@127.0.0[2].txt  (my server's domain=127.0.0.1).  The file's content is:
