Set The Cache To Something Manageable In Pocket IE
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "ARTICLE" @ 12:00 PM
If you use your device for browsing online, take a look at Start|Settings|System|Memory and see how much of your storage space is used. Now, in Pocket Internet Explorer, select Tools|Options|Memory|Delete Files. Now see how much storage space you have. Did you clear out a lot? I've seen 10MB cleaned up before. 8O You can change the cache size by modifying the registry.
[code][HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Content]
"CacheLimit"=dword:00000200[/code]
My PDA2K was set at 43MB and my K-Jam at 26MB. :idontthinkso: I've adjusted them both to a more reasonable 2MB, or 2048 for the registry key setting. Don't set it at zero. It won't work like that and will instead default to some much larger value. It should be at least 256KB to 512KB for the setting to work as far as I can tell.
