Cache and Cookie Washer for IE4 (c) 1998 Webroot Software
Version 1.1
(now with a lemon fresh scent!)

---------------------------------------
NEW IN VERSION 1.1 - 

Added the ability to select individual 
IE 4.x cookies to exclude from the wash 
cycle.  This is very useful if you visit
pages that store your preferred settings,
such as the MSIE default start page.

---------------------------------------
When Cache and Cookie Washer for IE4 is running there will be a little 
squeegee icon next to your clock on the Windows Taskbar.  If you click
once on the squeegee icon a menu will appear.  Select "WASH NOW" from 
the menu to wash your IE files.  Select "SETTINGS" from the menu to 
configure your wash items and other features of Washer for IE4. 
Select "QUIT" to close the Washer for IE4 program.

---------------------------------------

Special Note: Because of the way Windows uses the IE 4 index.dat files 
to display the contents of the "Temporary Internet Files" and "History"
directory, the directory will not always appear empty after "washing".  
This is because even though the actual cache files have been cleaned, 
the references to these files are contained in the IE 4 "index.dat" 
history file. It is recommended that along with the "clean cache" 
option, use the "clean history and index.dat" feature of Washer to 
clean out the references and have the directory appear empty.

Description:

Cache and Cookie Washer for IE4 is a useful utility to 
preserve your privacy and conserve disk space. It runs
in the background and will automatically clean up 
Internet Explorers cache, cookies and history. Cache 
and Cookie Washer for IE4 can be scheduled to 
automatically run at Windows startup or shutdown 
and you can set timed cleanings. The best feature 
however is that it can clean up the Index.dat files.
Index.dat files are used by IE to store URLs and other
information.  These files will continue to store URL 
and other information even if you clear your history
and cache from within IE.  These index.dat files can 
grow to enormous sizes taking up drive space, 
slowing down the browser, and potentially 
comprimising your privacy. You can also select individual 
IE 4 cookies to exclude from the washing, this is very 
useful if you visit pages that store your preferred settings,
such as the MSIE default start page.
