[[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.]]
Every time you start Internet Explorer
[[Specifies that when you return to a page you viewed previously,

since you last viewed it. Internet Explorer will check for new content
only when you return to a page that was viewed in an earlier session of

up browsing through pages you have already viewed.

[[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.]]

[[Specifies that when you return to a page you viewed previously,
Internet Explorer should never check to see whether the page has changed

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

Just got a new Dell notebook & I have 2 questions
1) When I open Internet Explorer, and it opens up to Yahoo(home page),
the page it opens up maybe Yahoo 2 days ago vs today. So I have to
refresh to get the latest date. Is there a setting somewhere that needs
tweaking? This also happens on some other Internet sites also.
2) The "# of days to keep pages in history" in Internet Options is set
to 10, and stays at 10 no matter what I do to revise it. Any
suggestions?
I never had this problem with Win98 or ME
Thanks
