YOUR BROWSER NEEDS PERODIC MAINTENANCE TOO

CLEARING YOUR BROWSER'S CACHE ( TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES )
and other recommended settings.

Your Browser caches webpage files on your Hard Drive in order to help you move about the Internet faster. If your browser comes accross pages that haven't changed since your last visit to a site, it will load the cached pages from the hard drive cache instead of the Internet, thereby speeding things up quite a bit. BUT...... The cache will get full after a while and then it will tend to actually SLOW you down.. Soooo here's how to clean things up...............................

Then click the button marked "Empty Folder" This may take a few minutes. Make sure that before you leave this window that the "Slider" marked"Amount of disk space to use" is set to around 20%. Check back once or twice per month for continued maintenance, more if you spend a lot of time surfing new websites.
