How to... Clear your cashe memory in Netscape
and Internet Explorer
In Netscape 3.0 - 4.0 ... It is recommended to occasionally clear the
cache in Netscape (the cache is the area in memory or your hard
disk storing recently retrieved file). Else, Netscape will have to clear
it for you - causing performance delays.
To delete the cache under Netscape 3.0, choose the "Options"
menu. On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, choose the
"Cache" tab. Now, click "Clear Memory Cache Now," and then
click "Clear Disk
Cache Now."
To delete the cache under Netscape 4.0, choose the "Edit" menu,
then "Preferences." On the window that appears, click on the
"Advanced" tab in the left window pane, then select "Cache." On
the right window pane, click "Clear Memory Cache." Now, click
"Clear Disk Cache."
In Internet Explorer 4.0 ... Go to "view", then select "Internet
Options". When the dialog menu shows, select the Temporary
Internet files box, then click the "Delete Files" button. Then just
below that button, you will see another button that says "Clear
History" You can also press it to remove the files your browser
automatically stores. Over time, these files can actually slow down
your PC's performance and also these Temp files waste allot of disk
space. I recommend clearing your Temporary Internet files and
your History files every couple of weeks or so, more often if you
spend over 20 hours weekly on the Internet.
