Four ways to prevent IE's cache from hogging your hard drive

摘要

Rather than just deleting the files outright, let's take a look at what's actually stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder, and then we'll tell you how to tame it. The files in this folder are put there by Microsoft Internet Explorer during your web browsing sessions. (In Windows 98, the Temporary Internet Files folder is usually a subfolder in C:Windows.) These files include everything from HTML documents to image files, and the intent is to make your web surfing quicker and more convenient. Temporary internet files enable IE to download only new content on any pages you've visited in the past and pull the static information from the cache, rather than downloading the entire page.
