GPO for Internet Explorer to empty cache on exit 2

[devastator]

Is there an option / update for this to apply to all PC's running XP SP2? That and set the cache value and homepage automatically.

Server is SBS 2003.


Thanks.

Nope. As far as I know, you could possibly do an ADM and setup a script. I'll see if I can find the link to MS site for this.

Cool, would be much appreciated.

the homepage can be set by GPO.

what do you want to do exactly with the cache value??

Cache value i want to set to 1 vs. the default of 520 or whatever. Basically i manually set it for everyone's station after they logged in, but sometimes people move around and use other's PC's and for whatever reason browse the web and then leave behind added cache and stuff. Just want it so no matter who logs on where, it will empty the cache when the browser is closed or have no cache value at all without me having to set it manually or deleting their profile from the machine.

and you can deploy a custom IE with this:

otherwise, clearing the cache is possible..
"Security Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed"
but you need the latest .adm files for XP for this to work

or go into 'internet explorer maintenance' and check preference mode.
i KNOW i've done this once in the past, but i can't remember how i did it. Doh!

This one is easy, just right click (on user config->Windows settings->Internet explorer Maintenance) and choose preference mode. Be advised, if you have any settings already in place, they will be removed when going into preference mode, and when coming out. You just need to make sure that you set up any of the settings that you had in "normal mode" into the preference mode.

Also, here is another choice for you....

set oNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Username = oNetwork.Username
Const DeleteReadOnly = True
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFile("C:\Documents and Settings\" & username & "\Local Settings\Temporary Internet files\*.*"), DeleteReadOnly

Have this .vbs script run upon logout, or, login. Your choice.

Thanks, will look into these options.
