Clear the Cache in IE

Cache is pronounced like "cash". A cache stores recently-used information in a place where it can be accessed extremely fast. Internet Explorer uses a cache to store the pages, images, and URLs of recently visted Web sites on your hard drive. Thus, when you visit a page you have recently been to, the pages and images don't have to be downloaded to your computer all over again.
 
What's the problem with this?
 
SMC/MCCD employees work with a number of systems which require that we visit the current, active page of the system/application.
Unless the cache is cleared frequently, you may experience problems in accessing and using these applications. At best, it will slow you down; at worst, it will not load an active page. 
 
You can clear the cache manually or you can force Internet Explorer to clear the cache every time you close the browser.   
 
Set Cache to Clear When IE Closes
 Open Internet Explorer  
 Choose Tools>>Internet Options  
 Select the Advanced Tab.  
 Scroll down to Security.  
 Check the box next to “Empty Temporary Internet Files Folder when Browser is closed”.  
 Click on OK.
