• Every visit to the page: You're assured of the most current content, but it's slower to browse previously viewed pages.
• Every time you start Internet Explorer 6: On your first visit to a page, Internet Explorer 6 will check for new information, but not on subsequent visits in the same browsing session.
• Automatically: Internet Explorer 6 will check automatically for any new content.
• Never: This option is fastest, but you could be viewing old content from the cache. To refresh the page, press the F5 button on your keyboard. This will connect you to the page on the Web and download new information to the Temporary Internet files folder.
Try several combinations of these options and cache size to find the best fit for your needs. You may need to use the settings for a few days to fully gauge how they are working.
