INTERNET OPTIONS DOES HELP ME TO CLEAR HISTORY, COOKIES, AND TEMP

Guest

When I go into Internet Options, I try to clear History, Cookies, and
Temporary Internet Files, however it does not work. Instead I get (Internet
Options Not Responding) followed by a pop up error with Internet Explorer
(Send/Dont Send).

Please help me to fix Internet Explorer.

Hi designengineering :)

Your cache may be full, or one of the folders is corrupted or damaged. Try
the information below and see if it helps:

Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files

The temporary I.E. files folder is a cache for web pages that you have
visited. I don't know why Microsoft sets the default so high, but I have
seen 2gb set for storage. This and other setting can be changed to decreace
the size of the storage area, and supposedly delete the I.E. temp file when
you close the browser.

You might also try the CacheSentry: Free
http://www.enigmaticsoftware.com/cachesentry/index.html

"This is a program that fixes serious bugs in the Internet Explorer cache
manager (versions 3.0 on up through and including Internet Explorer for
Windows XP, and IE6). This program basically takes over the job of managing
the cache from Internet Explorer, and the result is your web browsing
session will be more enjoyable. CacheSentry isn't like those "web
acceleration" programs that hook into IE and attempt to make guesses about
your browsing habits. CacheSentry simply does a better job of removing files
from the cache, and fixes a few other bugs present in most versions of
Internet Explorer."

Temporary means Temporary. Ones in the regular TEMP environmental
variable folders can be cleaned out as soon as the program that uses
them exits. It is advisable not to do this automatically at the
'autoexec' level, because some software installs leave some files
there for use when the system reboots. But I have a 'clean it up'
batch file that I run in the registry HKLM Run key

Ones in Temp Files are only needed should you be likely to go back to
the page. In Internet Options - Settings button I suggest cutting the
space allowed down - say 50 MB is plenty - and leave it to its own
devices.

Location of Temporary Internet Files:

C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
****
For Windows XP the folder is located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\[USER NAME]\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Hope this helps :)
