Not responding when clear cache

[Melinda]

When I go into Tools-Internet Options and select Delete
Files (Temporary Internet files) my computer sounds like
it is doing it but it goes on forever and then I get the
Program Not Responding message and I have to End Internet
Explorer. Anyone ever heard of this?

Hi,
Delete the TIF folder. See http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
Afterwards, set the TIF folder size to about 50-60 MB.

I have been having the same problem, so tried the fix recommended here, that
is, I deleted the "Content IE5" folder via "my computer" for both the
administrator and another user (IE was not responding when either the
administrator or the other user attempted to "delete temporary files.")

However, the MS article states that, after restart, IE will create a new
"Content IE5" folder, a new .dat file, and four randomly named sub-folders.
This has not occurred. Everything seems to be working fine otherwise -
should this be a concern?

thanks,

Steener

No but your folders may be hidden.
