Tip! If you find your machine experiencing memory shortages while browsing
the web, reducing the size of the cache will free more memory and help to
avoid such problems.
The cache is cleared each time you close the Internet program.
If the page you are viewing changes frequently, you can specify that you want
the page to be retrieved from the web server again, instead of being loaded
from the cache.
To reload a page:
1. Open the page you want to view – if you have loaded it recently, it is likely
the Internet program will open the cached copy of the page.
2. On the File menu, select Reload. This will retrieve the page again from
the web server.
Viewing the contents of the cache
You can view the contents of the cache and clear it if you want to free
memory.
To view the contents of the cache:
• On the Tools
menu, select Information Cache.
To clear the contents of the cache:
• Select the Empty now
button in the Cache information dialog.
Note! The cache is cleared when you close the Internet program. To prevent
this from happening, select
General preferences
on the
Tools menu, tap on
the Other page and remove the tick from the Empty cache on exit box.
If you see a Cookie information dialog, this is because a web site you have
contacted has asked to store a ‘cookie’ on your machine.
Cookies are small files which store your personalised information and settings
for a web site. Other sites may read the information in your cookie files, so
although they are normally harmless, you may want to stop using them for
reasons of confidentiality.
To stop using cookies:
1. Select General preferences
on the Too ls
menu and tap on the Other
page.
2. In the Use cookies line, select Never, or select Ask to be prompted each
time a site asks to put a cookie on your machine.
