Clear Cache on Home

Post by nfbjones »

I have set
ClearCacheOnHome=True
ClearCacheOnClose=True

but Cache is not cleared on when clicking the Home button or when inactivity goes to Home. I am using this on a machine treated with DeepFreeze; could this be the issue? Are the two statements mutually exclusive -- if OnClose is true then OnHome can't be true?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I have seen occasions when the Internet Explorer cache is corrupt. Clearing the cache using the Control Panel applet Internet Options will usually fix the problem and thus allow PWB to delete the cache files.

Both the clear cache on close and clear cache on home will run if they are set to true.

PWB does not attempt to delete the cookies, or the immediate browser history (back button). The immediate history will only be cleared by exiting PWB. In PWB v2.06, clearing the cache will also clear the browser history. To delete the cookies you will need to use a batch file and the PWB exit script.

Can you make the next PWB release clear cookies too? :D :D
