Internet explorer won't update home page
This probably doesn't apply to your situation but it's a problem I've
run into, so I'll throw it out to get some discussion started. I ran into a similar problem with pulling up old web pages on IE on my PC at work, despite clearing the cache and temporary files and setting options to check for updated web pages on every visit, just as you did. Turned out that I was getting the pages from a site cache. IE wasn't going out to get the "real" new page until I hit the "Refresh" button. "The System" was configured to work that way, so there wasn't much I could do except learn to deal with it. As I said, probably not what's going on in your case but hopefully it will spark some discussion.

I've deleted history and temporary pages, but somehow it still finds the old page. I've set the options to check for updated pages every visit, but no good. Any ideas? |

Sounds like it exactly. I can refresh and get the new page, but it pulls the
old page at startup. There must be a cache that they aren't telling us about. "Bob Pownall" wrote in message ...
