Avant uses Internet Explorer engine, doesn't it?
So go to Internet Options >General >Temporary Internet Files > Configure >
- "Check if there are new versions..." > Never
- 1MB

Then go back, "Delete files..."
History > 0 days

It's not really disablñing both, but it's a good start.

In win XP use the disk cleanup tool found at,

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools

You can also clean up other stuff too

There really isn't any point deleting the folders and the index.dat file as IE will create them again. The Disk Clean up tool will empty the contents of them. And having this speeds up browsing because your computer doesn't have to re-download the pics and flash files etc. again.

And a tip: If you use programs to copy other ppls display pics, make sure you use em before you clean up the temp internet files as all disp pics are stored in zipped files in that folder

There is a BIG point: cleaning up your cache and clean your disk of many unused files and free some space...

And if he is using a MSIE-compatble browser, he better can set his cache-settings correctly like KeyStorm suggested, so he doesn't have to use tools like Disk Cleanup in the first place...
(this goes actualy for any browser)

No, they are not stored as zipfiles, they are stored as normal PNG files (they are just renamed to *.BIN)....

it uses internet explorer in some part of it..but deleting records i dont think so..

Well, just take a look at Avant's user agent and convince yourself.

code:

---

- Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Avant Browser [avantbrowser.com])
- Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Avant Browser [avantbrowser.com])

---

User agent: Is the information string sent by the browser about itself for being identified by the server. It usually doesn't matter, but you some sites solve compatibility issue this way or detect any unsupported browser this way.

Avant is just like an add-on/enhancer of MSIE using thus its internal configurations. In this case, and as it uses "Temporary Internet Files" and "Content.IE5" we can reckon the use of the MSIE caching system.

I mean you should clear the stuff in the folders but there is no point actually deleting the folders.

I remember now, the disp pics aren't in zip files, it's jus that stuffit handles them files as well as zip files so I get confused .

actually, there is... sometimes the old subfolders aren't used anymore and new folders are created and thus leaving the old ones there to ermmm rot away

lol ok

It's been a while but I still can't delete those folders in content.ie5.
Therefore, I attached a screen shot of task manager and ask you guys if you see any programs that prevent the folders from being deleted

Thanks.

explorer.exe may be stopping it as explorer is linked with Internet Explorer (which you may have been using before you were trying to delete the folders). Restarting your PC and not launching IE might allow you to do it.
