Maintaining the Windows Cache

Question: I have noticed a lot of dropout occurring....ie, the web disappears for many many seconds.....then sorta comes back......nothing abnormal is running on my machine, so i assume it is a dns or router issue......reconnected once already......didn't really help.

Answer: Windows downloads the web pages, their graphics, etc. and stores them into a /temp folder assigned to Internet Explorer.
Then it reads the file and sends the data to the video monitor.
What you are seeing is the delay.
Longer delays are quite evident on older, slower CPU's. You could also have *even longer delays* depending on the number of programs running at the time (plus TSR Program icons down in the System Tray (next to your digital clock).

To fix this, click on Tools > Internet Options at the top of the Internet Explorer web browser software.
In the middle of the page where it shows Temporary Internet Files, click on the Settings button and set somewhere between 15 Megs and 40 Megs - depending on the size of the C: drive.
It should never be set larger than 40 Megs of hard drive space for the Cache.
Next, click on Delete Files, and also click to delete the Offline Content too.
After this, Windows will automatically maintain itself.
