           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.
