Empty Internet Explorer 7 Cache when Browser is Closed

There's lots of reasons for emptying the browser cache automatically… privacy, security, not wanting milions of tiny files on your hard drive…
To enable this setting in IE7, just go to the Tools \ Internet Options menu, and then click on the Advanced tab.

Make sure you check the checkbox for "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed".
It's useful to note here that if you have an application open that uses an embedded IE control, the browser cache sometimes won't be emptied until that application is closed as well.

Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1


I realize Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 has been reviewed on several locations on the net. However, I would not be doing our loyal reader's justice without expressing our take on the new browser. So, Here it go!
Installation:
**Keep in mind this is my experience on my work machine running XP Pro SP2, depending on your configuration and OS results may vary**
I thought installation would be pretty straight forward. The UI for installation looks exactly like IE 7 which should be familiar. Of course Microsoft makes you update various updates just to install IE 8 even though you may not want to install them. I tried to uncheck the Install updates box and Microsoft insists on protecting myself from myself.
If you have Firefox set as your default browser IE 8 doesn't like it! Ok … perhaps installation is not as straight forward as I anticipated.
So, I launched IE 7 and made it my default browser. Which is easy enough . Tools \ Internet Options \ Programs \ Make Default.
Well, I had to start the install process all over again just so Microsoft could point me to the wonderful Validation Required page! This update indicates an issue where the language bar crashes on multi-core machines. The machine I am on now is a single core CPU and I already disabled the language bar … but thanks for having my back MS!!!
After all of the validation and downloading the update I get to do another restart!
Ok, after the restart I get to start the installation process all over AGAIN. Seems to be working … I hope.
Success! Oh … but wait … there is Another Reboot!
On the next screen I am asked about a search provider. Well, Google is currently set up as my current provider, but since this is a review I want to check out what IE 8 is going to offer so I chose a list of other providers.
Next … again as I am curious as to what IE 8 will offer I am selecting to choose a list of activity providers versus the standards.
It appears the initial set up is complete … I will leave the safety monitor on which is enabled by default. If it blocks any legitimate sites you can always add it to Trusted Sites.
Ok … since I wanted to see additional search sites IE 8 popped up the options page which include the usual Web Search engines and a list of various Topic Search sites. There is also still a field to create your own as well.

Disable Tabbed Browsing in Internet Explorer 7





Why you'd want to disable tabbed browsing is a mystery to me, but I received a request for a registry hack to force IE7 to not use tabs. I can only assume that it has to do with keeping users from too much confusion when upgrading from IE6.
There's two ways that you can disable tabbed browsing. The easiest way is to just follow these steps:
  • Click the Tools button, and choose Internet Options
  • Click the Settings button in the Tabs section:
  • Uncheck Tabbed Browsing as shown here:
This method is probably the simplest, and should usually be used.
If you are a system administrator, here are some registry hacks to Enable/Disable Tabbed Browsing. Just unzip, and double-click. Note that the disable registry hack will force the setting on the users, so they can't enable it without the enable registry hack.

VERSION 7.0

Version 7.0 of Internet Explorer has been renamed Windows Internet Explorer (as opposed to Microsoft Internet Explorer) as part of Microsoft's rebranding of components that are included with Windows. It is available as part of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, and as a separate download via Windows Update for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Server 2003 with SP1 or SP2. Internet Explorer 7 can also be downloaded directly from Microsoft's website. Large portions of the underlying architecture, including the rendering engine and security framework, have been significantly reworked. Partly as a result of security enhancements, the browser is a stand-alone application, rather than integrated with the Windows shell, and is thus no longer capable of acting as a file browser. The first security advisory was posted only one day after the day of release, but it turned out to be a security problem in Outlook Express, not in Internet Explorer 7. The first vulnerability exclusive to Internet Explorer 7 was posted after 6 days.
On -IE, Internet Explorer operates in a special "Protected Mode", that runs the browser in a security sandbox that has no access to the rest of the operating system or file system, except the Temporary Internet Files folder. When running in Protected Mode, IE7 is a low integrity process; it cannot gain write access to files and registry keys outside of a user profile's folder. This feature aims to mitigate problems whereby newly-discovered flaws in the browser (or in Add-Ons hosted inside it) allowed hackers to subversively install software on the user's computer.
The Windows Vista and XP version of Windows Internet Explorer 7 additionally feature an update to the WinInet API. The new version has better support for IPv6, and handles hexadecimal literals in the IPv6 address. It also includes better support for Gzip and deflate compression, so that communication with a web server can be compressed and thus will require less data to be transferred. Internet Explorer Protected Mode support in WinInet is exclusive to Windows Vista. On October 8, 2007, Microsoft removed the Windows Genuine Advantage component of IE7 and opened it for all users of Windows.
