Setting the temporary internet files to 0 will certainly cause problems. You won't be able to save pictures in the proper file format, you won't be able to view the source code and most likely there will be problems with downloads.
heh...I didn't even realize a zero setting would cause an issue
Guess everything depends on the individual surfing habits. If you tend to often visit sites only one time it makes sense to clear out items you will never use again from time to time.
even this dosn't make any sense, since if you set the file a proper size, the file will purge old dat first...I really don't get the idea of emptying the file unkless there is some kind of issue you are tryting to resolve.
Also IE likes to have some free space in the cache for some features to work....ya
Don't think you can gain anything from setting the cache size too low, unless you are very limited in disk space.
agreed
Don't clear it at shutdown but manually every two or three days..
but why yoyo?
if you're not having an issue, just leave it be...you never know what you might need that might be in there, plus, of you visit the same site, your gifs, pcis, everything will come in faster.
I don't understand clearing these files every few days as a matter of maintanance
I think your size is a good one, and the older info in the file will automatically purge as it needs to be replaced.
Like to grab things out of there later, pics, movies or things you can't save in IE like swf files
I have often went to get something that I wanted, and found that my file was too small to still retain what I wanted.
when this happpened, of course I set a new and higher minimum.
I think clearing the file as a matter of mnaintanance was something that needed to be done with older systems, and like so many other rituals, is just a habit people are happy bringing forward.
yoyo, give it a shot leaving the files on the box.
I have yet to have an issue on these newer systems
