You just need to set your cache folder size to minimum in internet settings.

The cache is not only for people who have dial up. Accessing a file on your hard drive is faster than ANY internet connection you could have. You can make the cache smaller, but that will mean that only the most recent pages have been cached. The default setting is far to large, but something like 50MB should be a good size.

You can tick the option of Internet Explorer "Clear cache at exit" in Options too.

or you can use Crap Cleaner for

cleaning more than IE's cache.

Or you can use nLite. Or Google even.

Is there a better program to replace IE'S clear cache on exit?

There're cleaning progs which can do that but I don't use them. The problem is that IE cache is more than just your internet pages. IE keeps storing info in the index.dat file. It keeps building up in size.

Just log on to another admin account or another installation and delete the whole Content.IE5 folder. That will do it nicely. So why bother with other cleaning programs? You can also write a logoff or logon script that does that.

To delete index.dat within session use Unlocker (very great program !) @ http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

CrapCleaner is a good temp/internet cache cleaner. (You can use in a batch with 'ccleaner.exe /AUTO' to clean temp. silently)
