The file will be located in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\[YourWindowsLogonName]\Local Settings\
Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\[randomletters]
This is the default folder for the cache for your browser.
The files will be deleted when you clear your browser cache,
so you may want to save them somewhere else.
Click on the 'Temporary Internet Files' folder from
within Windows Explorer, and do a search for *.ra
and *.ram and you'll find them.
RealAudio files will have the extensions .ra and .ram
The latter may only be 1kb in size, and, if you open them
with a text reader such as Notepad, you will see that they
contain a URL, or web address, for the file which is being
streamed from the website. In this case, you will still
hear the file play when you click on it, but the content
doesn't really reside on your hard drive.

To Endo-Typing the %temp% gets me to the temp file but I find nothing
there.To Sublime1-When I type the exact pathway you have indicated I
get a ?this page cannot be displayed? message. I can get down as far
as the temporary internet files page but don?t find any further files
named IE5 or random letters. I?m running Internet Explorer 6.02. There
are some very small files here but when I tried a test click on one I
got a ?running a system command on this item might be unsafe? message.
I therefore didn?t continue. I had already tried running a documents
and a file search with the .ra and .ram suffix but found nothing. The
reason I think the material is somewhere on my hard drive was that the
initial download took one to two minutes whereas if I click on the
name of the file under the ?file? menu of the real audio program it
plays in 10-20 seconds.

To find the exact path of your browser's cache, open
a browser window and, from the menu at the top, select
Tools -> Internet Options, and on the General tab, under
Temporary Internet files, click on Settings. In the middle
of the resulting box, you'll see the current location of
your cache.
*.rm is another extension for which to search.
You might also want to open up the RealPlayer and see what
the setting is for 'default download location'. On mine,
RealOne Player 2.0, you'd go to Files -> Tools ->
Preferences, and click on 'General' in the left window.
You'll then see the dialog on the right, for File Locations,
both 'Recorded Music Files' and 'Default Download'.
Search those locations for the files, as well.
If your version of RealPlayer is a different one, finding
the location of these settings will be a little different,
but essentially the same.

You said:
"I can get down as far as the temporary internet files page
but don?t find any further files named IE5 or random letters."
What you describe occurs if you click on 'My Computer' to
explore your system, and drill down through the folders.
If you do this, you can only get as far as the 'Temporary
Internet Files' folder, and will only see the cookies
as the contents of this folder.
To see the full folder tree and navigate more easily, just
go to Start -> Run and type 'explorer', and hit Enter.
This will open an Explorer window with a frame on the left
for navigating, and a frame on the right which displays the
contents of the folder selected on the left.
By default, Explorer now opens with 'My Documents' selected
in the left-hand frame. Click on the + sign to the left of
'My Computer' and navigate down the path I gave you, and you
will be able to see the sub-folders under the 'Temporary
Internet Files' folder, including the ones with random
letters. If you look through these, you will see the other
contents of your browser cache, and you can search the
contents by right-clicking the sub-folders in the left-hand
frame and doing a search of those folders.
