HI All

Can someone tell me how to clear the cache of internet explorer? Whenever i do it for some reason the sites that i usually go to dont remember my passwords and userids.

thanks

Tools->Internet Options->General->Delete Files

don't click on delete cookies

you can't

Even if you didn't follow that walkthrough, it is urgent for you to know that Internet Explorer is keeping a backup of all of the websites you've visited, even if you've tried to get rid of them by clearing the cache, clearing the History, purchasing cleaning software, etc.

An oldie but better than IE alone and it is free....realize that if you're looking to do more than remove cache, there is still data to be found... (eg. slack files, registry, etc).

HI All

I tried deleting the files but when i click the button i get the message "internet explorer is not responding"

I made sure my Internet Explorer 6 and XP is all updated.
I also ran spybot and adware.

I looked into the browser add-on file. I found a file called "RESEARCH" and it didnt have a publishers name so i deactivated it. I clicked on the name but nothing came up. Does anyone know how i can find out what it is and who put it there?

Even with this file deactivated the browsing is still slow. Does anyone know what i can do to fix the problem with the I.E is not responding message?

By the way, I mostly use opera browser but IE comes in hands too.

thanks in advance

The not responding message is normal especially if you checked delete all offline content. If you have never cleared the cache before it could take literally 10 minutes before it finishes. Just let it run.

Use CCleaner to delete your IE cache as well as your Index.dat file.

It could give you a chunk of extra HD space.
