How to Increase the Amount of Cache in an Internet Explorer 8 Browser

The Internet Explorer 8 cache consists of the Web pages, images, cookies and sound files you have accessed using your browser. Whenever you visit certain pages, the files are stored in the "Temporary Internet Files" folder. This allows you to launch Web pages more quickly whenever you want to access the same sites. If you want Internet Explorer 8 to keep a larger database of Internet files, increase the the amount of cache space.

Instructions

1. Click the "Tools" menu at the top of your Internet Explorer window and then click "Internet Options" to launch the Internet Options dialog box.

2. Click the "General" tab, then click "Settings" under "Browsing History." A new window will open.

3. Click the up arrow button in the "Disk space to use" section to increase the amount of cache Internet Explorer 8 can use. Internet Explorer recommends keeping the cache disk space size between 50-250MB.

4. Click "OK," then click "OK" again to save your changes.
