[PHSW] Email Learning with Laura>Clean out Cache in MSIE on closing

[Laura Larsson]

Friends:

I was asked how I would get rid of my cache when I exited Internet 
Explorer. For various reasons you might not want someone to see where 
you've been surfing. The following instructions will automatically 
delete your cache when you exit the program. HOWEVER, someone trained in 
recovering data could go into your computer and retrieve the items in 
your cache. This method only eliminates obvious cache items but does not 
make your content secure from trained eyes. But you should be pretty 
safe since most of us don't know how to retrieve data from computers. 
And if someone is recovering data from your computer, you've got serious 
problems.

Open Internet Explorer and then choose Tools | Internet Options.

In the Internet Options dialog box, select the Advanced tab and scroll 
down the Settings list box until you see the Security heading towards 
the bottom.

Then, select the Empty Temporary Internet Files Folder When Browser Is 
Closed check box.

Lastly, click OK.

Each time you close your browser, your cache will now be cleared.

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. "  Alvin Toffler
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T. S. Eliot
"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both." James Michener
