Same thing. Clearing them via the "internet options" area doesn't do a very good job. You have to manually go to the folders and empty them after you click the buttons "delete files". One folder will be "Temporary internet files" (of which most of it WILL be deleted by clicking the button, but not all, and it also has cookies in it which won't be deleted by clicking that button) and the other is "Content.IE5". The latter will sometimes be huge, and I have not been able to delete two folders in it since I've been using XP. They are both empty except for a "search[1]." file in each of them.
There is also the "delete cookies" button which is a separate button in IE options in the same area, right next to the button "delete files". Since there are cookies I need to keep, I have a shortcut to the Temp. net files folder and manually delete all of them except for what I need to keep. There are actually two cookie folders; cookies are kept in the "Temporary internet files folder" and the "Cookies" folder. In this case when the former is deleted they are also deleted from the "Cookies" folder. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "scubic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't use IE, and have had someone ask me about clearing cache files. Does IE even have cache files, or are they just called "temporary internet files"? Sue ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
