To use PurgeIE as a Track (footprint) Cleaner:

First, protect the Cookies you wish to retain.  Select each of the Purge Options.  Set the time field for both Offline Cache and Online Cache to zeroes (or blanks).  Press the "Purge" button.

To use PurgeIE as a Cache Manager:

First, protect the Cookies you wish to retain.  Select the 'Strays' Options.  Set the time field for Offline Cache to the length of time you wish to retain it (ex. 3 days, 12 hours, 0 minutes).  Set the time field for Online Cache to the length of time you wish to retain it (ex. 1 days, 4 hours, 30 minutes).  The remaining options pertain more to Track cleaning.  Press the "Purge" button.

You should execute the Purge function often enough to prevent the cache from growing to the point that Internet Explorer's cache routines begin to reduce cache.

You should also set the 'Amount of disk space to use' for Temporary Internet files folder arbitrarily high to prevent Internet Explorer's cache reduction.  You can do this via Internet Explorer.  Select 'View' | 'Internet Options' | 'Settings' | 'Amount of Disk space to use'.

 

To use "One-Step" Execution:

For your convenience, a special Shortcut, "Purge with Current Options", is provided in the Distribution package for execution of PurgeIE using the currently saved options.

Use of the One-Step execution is not recommended until you feel comfortable with your choice of program options.

You may use the ‘Configure’ button to activate the Configuration Window which has a function for generating a "Purge NOW" Shortcut on the Desktop and, optionally, to automatically execute at each system startup.
