See The History

  • Click Triangle for Dropdown menu.

  • Click any address to visit.

  • Sites are in order visited.

  • History can be deleted.

  • Rarely a reason to do so.

  • Good opening for discussion if cleared.

  • Saved for 20 days - changeable.

  • Odd if changed to 0.

  • Browser types in address for previously visited ie "www.pl" produces "www.planosymphony.com"

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alter History

  • From IE, click [Tools] then [Internet Options].

  • [Clear History] deletes all entries.

  • "Days to keep" setting can be changed.

  • Zero days is mysterious.

  • 20 is the default.

Temporary Files

  • Every time you visit a site, a copy of the site is copied onto your computer.

  • This speeds up the second and later visits.

  • They can be deleted with one button click - frees up hard drive space.

  • [Settings] show you the actual files.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Find Temporary Files

  • From Internet options, select [Settings]

  • Temp files expedite revisiting sites.

  • Also known as caching (sounds like cashing).

  • Actual location of files is documented - yours may be different.

  • Allowing zero disk space is mysterious.

  • Click [View Files] to see the actual files.
