Smile How To Delete Browser Clutter

When you surf the Web, you're actually viewing each page from your own hard drive. Oh, yes you are! And that is why we say "wait until the page loads". What would be more appropriate would be "wait until the page downloads".
Every image, every html document, every site cookie, every sound, every javascript and applet is being downloaded to a folder called "Temporary Internet Files" (Internet Explorer) and when it's all downloaded you see the page from your own hard drive. So, after a long browsing session you can imagine the amount of useless clutter that has accumulated on your computer. You can set Internet Explorer to automatically delete files in the Temporary Internet Files folder each time you close it. And you should. It's easy to do.

Here's How:

Open Internet Explorer. On the toolbar click Tools, Internet Options then click the Advanced tab. Scroll all the way down and place a check mark in the box next to "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed"

This will keep some of the clutter off your PC!
