I think I'm stuck with Internet Explorer 6 for Microsoft Windows ME. How do I clear its browser cache?
One easy way to do it is to use CCleaner. It's a great, free program. CCleaner should work with IE6 on WinME.
If you have never cleared your Temporary Internet Files folder, there will be a lot to clean. CCleaner also empties your Recycle Bin and deletes other temporary files. You should make sure that it will not delete something important to you before running it. The program provides a list of the types of files it will delete.
If you delete cookies, you might have to reenter passwords for Internet sites.
You also might try a different browser or clearing your browser cache.*** I think I'm stuck with Internet Explorer 6 for Microsoft Windows ME. How do I clear its browser cache? ***
'scuse me for butin' in...
neverdem,
you're not stuck with IE6. I've used Firefox 'forever' and with 'ME", and on the Mozilla/Firefox page you can still download early versions like (example) Firefox 2.0 that'll work fine with ME (just turn off auto update).
BUT as Chad says in #16: Be. Very. Careful. when emptying any Temp Folders. Many programs store required files in there (Bill Gates is evil). A couple weeks back I was downloading a new program/application and the 'Instruction' said to 'delete EVERYTHING' in my Temp Folder. Well I looked in it first and its a good thing I didn't "delete everything". Plus some 'Temp Folders' may be hidden and you won't see them unless you go into My Computer thru Explorer and uncheck two boxes.
There is an easy way to 'clear your cache' though. Just Click Tools, Internet Options and check 'clear browsing history' under 'General Tab'. But that will delete your cookies so make sure you have all your website passwords & IDs written down.
Hope this helps and makes sense (still haven't had enough caffeine)
