I am on a PC and use Internet Explorer for the most part when visiting 
MicroWorlds projects. My AOL browser uses Internet Explorer and its cache, 
too. That is a very weird feature of Netscape which I did not know about! 
By the way, the AOL browser version of IE sometimes does a poor job of 
loading MicroWorlds projects... it freezes up or doesn't finish loading the 
larger MW projects, and that is when I switch over to the full version of IE.

Another thing I sometimes do to make it easy to find a file I really want in 
the cache is to empty the cache and then revisit the page. It is then the 
only thing in the Temporary Internet Folder except for all those cookies 
(which I tend to leave alone for some reason).

  • To save an attachment to your computer, PC users should right-click (Mac users, click and hold the mouse button) on the link and then choose 'save target as' from the pop-up menu. A window will then pop up in which you can choose a location for the file.
