Subject: Internet Spring Cleaning dan's tip for april 9 again
Hi all,
I accidently put an extra number in the directions nd another member caught it.
Sorry. The number three that is blank should not be in the document. So to
make things less confusing. Here it is again with the number now removed.
Internet Spring Cleaning
Today's technology tips will help you clean some old websites off your
computer. Did you know that every time you visit a website a complete copy of
that website as well as all the pictures on it is downloaded and
stored on your computer? This is called the "cached copy" of the website and
it's stored on your computer for 1-999 days depending on the setting on your
computer. The more internet surfing you do the more cached copies of website
you probably have saved to your computer.
Today's technology tip will show you how to quickly delete cached copies of
websites and how to set the number of days you'll keep a cached copy on your
computer.
In Microsoft Internet Explorer:
1. click on tools or press alt plus the letter t for tools.
2. Click on "Internet Options" or press the letter o.
3. Click on "delete" or press alt plus the letter d.
4. Make sure the following checkboxes are checked by pressing the spacebar.
a. "Preserve Favorite Website Data"
b. "temporary Internet Files"
A "temporary Internet file" is a file that is located on your hard drive that a
browser uses to store Web site data for every Web page or URL address that you
visit. When the Web server sends the Web page files to the browser, they are
stored in a file so that the next time you visit the same Web site the browser
takes the data from the temporary Internet file. Loading the Web site in this
way from a temporary Internet file is called caching.
With this method, the page quickly displays in the browser instead of having to
wait for response from the Web site's server all over again. Basically, the
browser is opening the Web page from your hard drive instead of downloading the
files from the Internet. Only the new content since your last visit would be
downloaded on consecutive visits to a Web page. Not only is it faster to view
the content from your temporary Internet files rather than from the Web server,
but if your Internet connection is unavailable you can view the cached versions
of recently visited Web pages while offline.
On a Windows-based computer Temporary Internet Files is actually the name of
the directory used by Internet Explorer to cache the pages you visit. Many
different types of files are saved to the Temporary Internet Files folder when
you visit a Web page, such as HTML, images, JavaScript, style sheets, video
files, cookies and more. If you're using Firefox rather than Internet Explorer
the term cache is used instead of Temporary Internet Files.
c. "cookies"
(These are small files that some websites place on your computer to track your
visits to their sites)
d. "history"
5. Optional checkboxes to consider include:
a. "form data" This does the same as the next checkbox of "password." IE
remembers how a specific form was treated the last time you visited. If you
check this box, all information related to that form including username and
passwords will be removed.
b. "passwords/" This is useful to checkif your password for a specific site
suddently doesn work anymore. This cannhappen because IE is remembering an old
[password and will not let the new one be used. Then once setting a new
password, this box should be checked.
c. "In Private Filtering":
InPrivate filtering analyzes and filters "third party" content on web sites
when such content occurs frequently enough to track your browsing habits across
multiple sites. In order to do this, IE must collect an extensive record of the
sites you visit and the sources of third party content. If a person were to
check this box, IE would not collect that information and the InPrivate
filtering feature would no longer work. If you don't use that feature, then you
might as well as not collect the browsing history information.
6. Tab to "delete" and press the spacebar.
7. After a few seconds, tab to "okay" and press the spacebar.
You are finished.

"Lord Jesus Christ, your death brought life for us. Fill me with your Holy
Spirit that I may walk in freedom and joy in the knowledge of your great
victory over sin and death."
Psalm 93:1-5
1 The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed, he is girded with
strength. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
2 your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice, the
floods lift up their roaring.
4 Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the
sea, the LORD on high is mighty!
5 Your decrees are very sure; holiness befits your house, O LORD, for evermore.
