-
- Overview
-
- "PurgeIE" is a Shareware utility program designed to help maintain the
- Cache and Cookie files and to remove one's Tracks for Internet
- Explorer 4.0, or higher, whether running on Windows 95, Windows 98,
- Windows 2000, Windows ME or NT 4.0.
-
- "PurgeIE" offers several options in its fresh approach to the cleanup
- of Internet Explorer files:
-
- First, a distinction is made between Offline Cache and Online Cache.
- These can be purged individually.
-
- Online Cache was referred to as Subscription Cache in IE-4. This
- document uses the term Online Cache to refer to "other than Offline"
- Cache.
-
- Second, the user has the option to specify a "minimum time since last
- use" for purging Offline Cache and for purging Online
- Cache.
-
- Third, Internet Explorer's primary INDEX.DAT files are properly
- updated without deleting them. This is done in a manner consistent
- with the design of Internet Explorer's Cache system that was
- implemented beginning with Version 4.0. This avoids the requirement
- for "rebooting" that other such utility programs require for their
- deleting the primary INDEX.DAT files.
-
- Fourth, an option is provided for deleting "Stray" Cache and Cookie
- files. These are files for which the index pointers have been lost
- within the INDEX.DAT files.
-
- Fifth, a convenient method is provided for "protecting Cookies" from
- its purge function.
-
- Sixth, this utility can also be viewed as a Track Cleaning utility as
- it has functions for deleting the user's tracks that Internet Explorer
- deposits in various Cache files, the INDEX.DAT files, the History
- Folders, the Windows Temporary files and the Registry.
-
- Seventh, a Preview option is provided to enable the user to preview
- the effect of each of the Purge options.
