When Internet Explorer 6 deletes files from the TIF in order to make room for
new files, does it delete the oldest files or the files that have not been
accessed the longest (which would make more sense from a performance
standpoint)? TIA.

Jan, thanks. The answer I was looking for was at the egnimaticsoftware.com
website. According to the website, in theory IE is supposed to delete files
from the website you visited the longest ago, which is what I hoped to find
out (although it further claims that IE doesn't always behave this way).
