Hi, Poppey(?).

In IE, click Tools | Internet Options... On the first (General) tab, click
the Settings button under TIF in the middle of the page. On the next page,
set the TIF size to as many MB as you like.

You might also want to visit the Advanced tab, scroll down to Security and
check the box that says to Empty the TIF when you exit IE. WinXP often can
get a page from the Web again about as quickly as it can retrieve one from
the cache, especially if you have broadband.

Hi, Poppey.

Then your screen and mine are different. Mine gives me a slider bar AND an
input box where I can either type a number (I have 500 MB; it will also
accept 1500 MB) or just click Up or Down arrows to increase or decrease by 1
MB per click.

What version of IE are you using? Since you posted your question into the
WindowsXP.Basics Discussion Group, I assumed you are asking about WinXP and
IE6. If not, you should post your question in a different group.
