Here's the setting to automatically clear the cache in IE 5.x when you exit IE. What settings are you looking for?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache]
"Persistent"=hex:01,00,00,00

For password cache...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network]
"DisablePwdCaching"=hex:01

For refresh...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"SyncMode5"=dword:00000003

sorry about the short kinda rude reply..
had to quickly setup a user.

Yeah, basically, the administrator wants all the browsers to have a 5mb cache size rather than the default 200+mb.. makes it quicker when scanning for cached pages etc..

The replies are still usefull though. The reply from MCA is scarey!! I didnt realise changing the cache setting altered so much

actually...

Im having the same issue with trying to find the history settings!

I did ask the administrator about using Policies to set this up, but he mentioned that Policies has always raised issues on the network??

The best way to roll out and manage IE is with the IEAK. While it includes policy style ADM files, it has its own implementation of them. Anyone that uses policies however can rip the ADMs and include them in their system policies at logon.

Now, if you're running AD, then GPOs are your friend.

Dear,

To set the limit of your cache you need following code:
code:
    $cache_limit_size="5120"
$debug_mode="yes"
;
$ikey="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" ; - NT/95 -
IF (existkey($ikey) = 0)
$completed="no"
$index=0
DO
$icode=ENUMKEY($ikey, $index)
IF (@error = 0)
IF (len($icode) <> 0) AND (Instr("123456789",SubStr($icode,1,1)) <> 0)
IF ($debug_mode = "yes")
? $ikey+"\"+$icode
ENDIF
$ikey2=$ikey+"\"+$icode+"\Cache\Content"
IF (existkey($ikey2) = 0)
$null=WriteValue($ikey2,"CacheLimit","$cache_limit_size","REG_DWORD")
ENDIF
$ikey2=$ikey+"\"+$icode+"\Cache\Cookies"
IF (existkey($ikey2) = 0)
$null=WriteValue($ikey2,"CacheLimit","$cache_limit_size","REG_DWORD")
ENDIF
$ikey2=$ikey+"\"+$icode+"\Cache\History"
IF (existkey($ikey2) = 0)
$null=WriteValue($ikey2,"CacheLimit","$cache_limit_size","REG_DWORD")
ENDIF
ENDIF
ELSE
$completed="yes"
ENDIF
$index=$index+1
UNTIL ($completed = "yes")
ENDIF

The value of variable "$cache_limit_size" is a decimal value.
Script works for all internet explorer versions.
Script verified for Kixtart 3.63 and 4.x
greetings.

btw: don't get scary of it. just remember that some software can and may influence a great
amount of registry settings. Just you latest reply specifies exactly what you are wanting.

Dear,

Good news. Thanks for your feather, but still we can't fly.

The only special IF/ENDIF is:

IF (len($icode) <> 0) AND (Instr("123456789",Substr($icode,1,1)) <> 0)

Explanation:
  • (len($icode) <> 0)
    an empty entry may result in a registry key like:
    "HKLM\...\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\\Cache\Content"
    which isn't a legal key.
  • (Instr("123456789",Substr($icode,1,1)) <> 0)
    internet explorer is using different subkeys for different internet versions
    f.e. 5.0, 5.5, 6.0.
    To speed up and to prevent unexpected effects we only want to serach through
    subkeys starting with a number.
All the other statements are used for verifing ExistKey function
and for showing some debugging information.
greetings.
