Internet Explorer settings

[Diancecht]

Hi all.

I'm not sure this is the correct forum to post this, but as it's highly related to XP, it should be.

My background is a web application accessed from some XP machines with IE6.0 installed. The application has some static elements that are downloaded once and stored as temporary internet files so the next time the application is called, they don't need to be downloaded again.

Now there are some more web applications accessed from there that, for security reasons, need the cache to be deleted every time the browser is closed.

The problem I'm facing is how to make all these requirements live together.

My first thought was having a kind of IE launcher for the first application with different settings for cache so they won't interfere, but as these settings are stored in the registry, I'm not so sure I can launch two instances of IE with different settings.

Could anyone give some light in this point?

Cheers,
Dian

What about storing them as regular files on the client PC, then calling those elements with a <src="file://whatever.jpg"> or something like that? That way, the static elements would be called from the local hard drive, but the dynamic elements could be downloaded... then you could set your pragma to nocache....



Just my 2¢
