Autoclear IE history and cache - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Great Scott · 12-05-2003, 04:35 AM

I feel like such a noob for asking this, but I can't seem to figure it out again. I used to have a program that would clear the Internet Explorer history and cache automatically (was it tweak UI, tweak XP), and now somehow I can't find it anymore. KInd of irritating because it was really useful and now that I can't find it it's driving me nuts. Any ideas? Thanks

I'm using tracks eraser and it does it properly, i tried using clear cache i think it was called and it didnt clear it properly.
I am interested in a free alternative if available though, I think trial runs out very soon on tracks eraser for me :/

Tweak UI is capable of automatically cleaning the cache on login. Is that what you're after? (haven't posted link because I don't know if you use 2k or XP)

Great Scott · 12-05-2003, 11:12 AM

Thanks cliche. Just noticed I forgot to mention that. Using XP pro and the lastest version of Internet Explorer. Actually I have tweak UI for windows XP but I don't see that option anywhere. The only thing I can find is for it to clear the list of typed URL's. I would like to clear the whole history everytime I log off....

u could also use MYIE2 to do it for you... it cleans address, history, cookies, forms, and anything else in the cache. get it from www.MYIE2.com -its a very small upgrade to IE(700k)

i just keep my history settings to 1 or 0 days. also, if you have spybot, there's a way to get it to clear your "usage tracks". this includes URLs, cookies, cached files, etc...

Great Scott - There's a lot of different versions of Tweak UI, Tweak XP and it's hard to keep track of them all. However, Tweak UI 1.33 has the 'paranoia' tab which allows you to change settings for deleting private information. You can use it on XP fine

Thanks everyone, Thanks especially cliche, that was exactly what I used to have and was looking for. Lost it in my reformat.

hmm...that sounds useful, i think i will get that myself. thanks

The real question is whether or not it clears the "really hidden files" and index files
