Cache Clearning

A key to keeping your Web browsers happy is to clear the cache every once in a while. The cache is a folder that contains Temporary Internet Files of web pages you’ve visited. Although its purpose is to speed up reloading of previously visited web pages, the opposite can occur when the cache gets too full. Clearing it will improve speed and performance and clear stored login information (for the helpdesk and other applications).
