I knew that if I waited long enough the answer would turn up and it has!

Terry Porritt explained about the extra folders today in this thread (at the bottom) in case you haven't seen it:

www.idg.net.nz

He says:

'The gobbledy-gook folder names in temporary internet files folder are random names generated for security reasons. It's to lessen the chance of an embedded program being run from cache, since the path name to such a program is not easy to specify with a random folder name.( Aknowledgements to Livingston & Straub)'

So now we all know!
