It seems that persistent caching can be disabled
in the key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int
ernet Settings\Cache\
Add a setting Persistent of type REG_BINARY with a
value of 00000000.
According to the Persistent Caching plugin of
X-Setup (http://www.xteq.com), "After Persistent
Cache is disabled, clearing TIF & History folders
from Tools/Internet Options/General Tab will purge
retained URLs.". The author of this plugin is
Ojatex@aol.com.
I haven't tested this, but it seems worthwhile.
