Hi, I always have to use the Ctrl button and refresh to get the latest
weather radar picture, earthquake info, etc. These are all set as favorites
and shortcuts. Can you tell me how to tweek the settings to get IE6, SP2 to
download the latest page? Thanks, I am not really computer savvy.
 
Refresh the current Web page F5 or CTRL + R.

Internet Explorer | Tools | Internet Options | General tab | Settings button
Check for newer versions of stored pages: Every visit to the page

* Every visit to the page...
Specifies that when you return to a page you viewed previously, Internet
Explorer should never check to see whether the page has changed since you
last viewed it. Selecting this option speeds up browsing between pages you
have already viewed. If you want to see the most current version of a
specific page, even when this option is selected, open the page, click the
Refresh button on the toolbar.

* Every time you start Internet Explorer...
Specifies that when you return to a page you viewed previously, Internet
Explorer should check to see whether the page changed since you last viewed
it. If the page has changed, Internet Explorer displays the new page and
stores it in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Note that selecting this
option can slow down browsing between pages you have already viewed.

* Automatically...
Specifies that when you return to a page you viewed previously, Internet
Explorer should not check to see whether the page has changed since you last
viewed it. If you select this, Internet Explorer will check for new content
only when you return to a page that was viewed in an earlier session of
Internet Explorer or on an earlier day.

Over time, if Internet Explorer determines that images on the page are
changing infrequently, it will check for newer images even less frequently.

Selecting this option can provide the most speed when browsing through pages
you have already viewed.

If you want to see the most current version of a specific page, even when
this option is selected, return to the page, and then click the Refresh
button on the toolbar.

That should have been Every time you start Internet Explorer NOT Every visit
to the page.
