Not emptying IE cache

Post by jsand »

I'm using PWB 2.09, and several machines here are running PWB as the shell for 15-minute internet sessions. We noticed today that the IE (PWB) cache is not emptying on logoff as it should. Temporary Internet Files for the internet user is full of several weeks worth of cache and cookies. I am pasting the [Security] section of the .ini file below. I can provide Group Policy settings in a follow-up if you need it. We need a resolution on this, as patrons are supposed to start each session with a clean slate.

What version of Windows and Internet Explorer are you using?

If you clear the cache by hand via the Internet Options Control Panel applet, is PWB able to continue clearing the cache.

It is Win2000 SP4 with IE6. The user account in question is a domain user. I just deleted the user profile completely from the machine, and let Windows create a new one, and it still appears to not be emptying the cache when it closes.

We are looking into the clearing of the Cache on Windows 2000 computers with IE 6.0. with PWB v2.09.

Have you tried PWB v2.10?
