Windows Tip: Reduce Cache
 
    

Adjust cache properties to ensure the most current web pages are always viewed.
 

All downloaded web pages and cookies get stored in your Temporary Internet folder, or cache. This design is used to make accessing them quicker if you decide to visit the same pages at a later date. You may want to consider adjusting the cache properties to make sure the correct webpage always get delivered.

To adjust cache properties, follow these directions:

  1. Open Internet Explorer
  2. Mouse over Tools and select Internet Options.
  3. In Internet Options select the General tab.
  4. In the middle of the General tab is the Temporary Internet files section. Click the Settings button.
  5. On the pop-up window that appears, checkmark "Every visit to the page" under "Check for newer versions of stored pages." This will insure updated web pages always get displayed in your browser.
  6. Next, in the "Temporary Internet files folder" field under "Amount of disk space to use," set the MB to an ideal number based on the amount of hard drive space available. If you have a small hard drive, you'll probably want to make it about 10MB or less. (The smaller the number, the faster the cache will overwrite itself as you visit web pages.)
  7. When you're finished making changes, select "OK."
  8. Then select "OK" in the Internet Options dialog box.
