Avoiding
Cached Web Pages
in Internet Explorer 5.x
1)
Click on the "Tools" link on the menu bar at the
top of the screen and select "Internet Options".
2) An "Internet Options" window should appear.
3) Under the "General" tab, look down about
halfway to the section called "Temporary Internet
Files" and click on the "Settings" button.
4) In the "Settings" window that opens, look
under the section labeled "Check for newer versions
of stored pages". There are four options:
- Every
visit to the page -
Specifies
that when you return to a page you viewed previously,
Internet Explorer should check to see whether it
changed since you last viewed it. If the page has
changed, Internet Explorer displays the new page and
stores it in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
Internet Explorer checks for changes once per session.
Note that selecting this option can slow down browsing
between viewed pages.
- Everytime
you start Internet Explorer - Specifies
whether, when you return to a page you viewed
previously, Internet Explorer should check to see
whether the page has changed since you last viewed it.
Selecting this option can speed up browsing between
viewed pages. Internet Explorer will check for new
content on this page only when you start Internet
Explorer.
If you want to see whether a specific page has been
updated even when this option is selected, click the
View menu, and then click Refresh.
- Automatically
- Specifies that when you return to a page
you viewed previously, Internet Explorer should not
check to see whether the page has changed since you
last viewed it. If you select this, Internet Explorer
will check for new content only when you return to a
page that was viewed in an earlier session of Internet
Explorer or on an earlier day. Over time, if Internet
Explorer determines that images on the page are
changing infrequently, it will check for newer images
even less frequently. Selecting this option can
provide the most speed when browsing through pages you
have already viewed. If you want to see the most
current version of a specific page, even when this
option is selected, return to the page, and then click
the Refresh button on the toolbar.
- Never
- Specifies whether, when you return to a
page you viewed previously, Internet Explorer should
never check to see whether the page has changed since
you last viewed it. Selecting this check box speeds up
browsing between viewed pages. If you want to see
whether a specific page has been updated even when
this option is selected, click the View menu, and then
click Refresh.
To
avoid viewing outdated, cached graphics and pages from
your hard drive instead of the latest content, choose one
of the first two options above. "Everytime you
start Internet Explorer" is the recommended
choice.
