What Cache do you mean? Your Internet Explorer cache?

There is a way to create a shortcut for that. A free program called Xteq X-setup or something has an option to create a shortcut on the desktop to clear you IE cache. I don't know how to do it manually however. There is a way that's for sure. If no one posts a better idea, then Xteq is the way to go. If it means that much to you ofcourse.

Regards,

Card.

hey thanx 4 the r3plI C4rd1n4L

Enough of that .... what I would truly enjoy is a way to clear all the #$%@ that gets my system clogged up during a normal day . I would like to clear out all the stuff MS ( in their infinite wisdom ) has desided to hold in reserve in my system ;for what ever reason , and delete it at the touch of a keystroke.


Like creating a batch file that says ,,,,,all this **** is crap , put it here .. and delete the f$#@!^.

Again thanks in advance

I'm sure a batch file could easily clean out your Temp folder, Temporary Internet files, History, and such. It all depends on where the things are located, the permissions and your DOS skills.

dos skills are easy to reclaim
an easy setup for a batch would be like:

%sysdrivewherecacheis% ie: C:
cd [folder where cache is] ie: cd Progra~1 ("Program Files" but some dos based os's cant read more than 8 chars, unlike 2k)
del *.*
(or you can refine by typing something like del *.gif or *.html)

and then if you wanna do more folders
just add something like this:
cd.. (knocks the tree back one, from C:\Progra~1\ to C:\ )
cd Temp
del *.*


and just name it something.bat
(make sure file extension is bat and not txt though :P)
you could get way more intense with some scripting but i prefer to keep my scipting to perl and php smile
but i think youd benifit from geting xteq, its amazing, i dont leave home without it.
