How to customize the way IE stores and uses the temporary Internet Files

Wednesday, August 5, 2009

You can also customize the way that Internet Explorer stores and uses temporary Internet files. On the General tab of the Internet Options dialog box, click the Settings button. This action opens the Settings dialog box.

Ways to control when Internet Explorer checks for newer versions of the pages that are stored in its local cache. These four options are as follows:

Every Visit to the Page This option causes Internet Explorer to connect to the website and check to see whether the page has been updated each time you access the page in Microsoft windows If a newer page is available than the one stored in the local cache, Internet Explorer downloads the new page from the website and places it in cache. If the page has not been updated, Internet Explorer loads the page from the local cache instead. You may also be interested in learning – How to control the cookies in Internet explorer 6

Every Time You Start Internet Explorer This option causes Internet Explorer to connect to the website and check to see whether the page has been updated only the first time you access the page in any given Internet Explorer session. Subsequent accesses to the page in the same session are always loaded from the cache.

Automatically This option is similar to the Every Time You Start Internet Explorer option, except that Internet Explorer monitors how often pages change. If Internet Explorer determines that a page does not change very often, it checks for updates less frequently than once per session.

Never This option causes Internet Explorer to never check for updated versions of the page unless you manually refresh the page. The Settings dialog box also allows you to control the amount of disk space that temporary Internet files can consume on a hard disk and the folder that Internet Explorer uses to store the files. You should consider moving the temporary Internet files to another location only if the drive on which they are currently stored runs low on disk space. To view the contents of the folder, click View Files; to view downloaded program files, click View Objects in Microsoft windows xp.
