Answer 3

* Close all instances of Outlook Express and Internet Explorer and
Windows Explorer (yes Windows Explorer uses the Internet also)
* Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
* Click the "Delete Files" button




When prompted place a check in: "Delete all offline content", click OK. This removes the junk files such as downloaded files, zero byte files created by Outlook Express and many other hidden files that reside in your cache.

Note: the hidden desktop.ini actually controls what is viewed in the cache folders.

In other words ... when you go to Internet Options | General tab - Settings button| View Files (IE 6)


Or if you are using IE7 click Delete Browsing History

Most of the above mentioned (junk) files are actually hidden from view.



Resizing your Cache

By default Internet Explorer (IE 6) allocates 10% of your drive. This was fine years ago but today with the size of these new drives, 10% is just too large and increases the chances for corruption.

* IE6 - Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF (browser cache) size to 50 mb, click OK
IE7 - already recommends 50-250 mb ... select: 50

Dealing with a corrupt Cache

In many cases when you have trouble accessing a site, pages don't load properly - such as when you click Refresh (F5) then the page loads, this indicates a corrupt cache. Either a corrupt folder or the hidden "index.dat" is damaged. The problem arises when you use the "Windows Method" (above) this does not in many cases repair a corrupt cache folder or does not resize the index.dat. It continues to grow and grow in size.

Completely Deleting the Temporary Internet Files and index.dat (manual method)

XP/2K users (WinME/98 users see below)

* Log on as Administrator and delete the desired folder(s) and reboot.
(or log on as another user that has Administrator privileges)
* Hint: You can also press "Ctrl-Alt-Del" twice at the Welcome screen to bring up the Administrator account or download: "AddAdministrator.reg" to add the Administrator to the Welcome screen.
* To use: right-click and select: "Save Target As", locate the reg file and right-click and select: Merge Ok the prompt and reboot. [more info]

Example
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files"

Note: where "username" is the account or profile that you suspect is corrupt. Remember to delete the folder (Content.IE5) not just the contents. A new "Content.IE5" and a set of random named sub-folders (4) and index.dat will be created on restart. You can not delete these folders from your own account.
TIP: If you do not want to delete the cache manually, you can use CCleaner (freeware) instead.

Clear Cache Feature for Internet Explorer - This program is intended to automatically delete all temporary Internet files, cookies, and history files when it is installed and executed. The program was developed to programmatically clear these files when a corrupt entry caused errors with Internet Explorer.
