| Clear the Cache Automatically SUMMARY: Force Internet Explorer 6 to automatically purge its cache.
For various reasons, you may want your Internet Explorer cache (the Temporary Internet Files folder) to be cleared whenever you exit the browser. Perhaps you don't want the folder to get too big; perhaps you want to clear your tracks for security or privacy reasons, etc. To do this:
1. Open Internet Explorer, choosing "Tools" - "Internet Options".
2. From the multi-tabbed dialog box that follows, click "Advanced".
3. Scroll down to "Security".
4. Check "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed".
5. Press "OK" to close the dialog box.
If you are doing this for security reasons, do realize that deleted files can sometimes be recovered by people who know what they're doing.
