Disable cache in IE?

[Krushstone]

Hi

Is there a way to disable the cache in Internet Explorer?

You can set it to keep only 1 mb of temporary internet files, but I have a good connection and I don't want IE to write these stupid files on my hard drive.

Any suggestion about settings or registry editing that would disable the cache?

Thanks

I don't think it's possible. Maybe you can have IE explode. I've been trying to disable the cache for a while, even making my own browser using the VB6 browser form, I still can't find how to do that.

I forgot to mention that registry editing might help. But I don't know about that.

I found that on a website:

Turning off the Cache

Note also that you can essentially turn off the cache entirely by checking the "Delete saved pages when browser closed" box in the Security section of the Advanced tab of Internet Options. The following Registry setting does the same thing:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Internet Explorer \Main
Enable_Disk_Cache=no

However, IE will continue to cache pages to the TIF directory (and History files to the History directory) during the current browsing session, to the greater of 4MB or 1% of your hard drive, and you'll still have pointers to Cookies and the growing index.dat files to reckon with.

I wonder if there is a way to have no cache at all...

Ok

I set the the folder containing the files to read-only (after deleting them) and now only cookies are written in the folder.

Pretty weird but it seems to do what I want to
hopefully IE won't put them in another folder...
