hey buck52,

The ambulance icon? Hit it twice. Me thinks it has something to do with a registry setting.

The inevitable had been encountered: IE5 still contains this bug! Microsoft did *NOT* provide the workaround, they said "they were looking into".

In the mean-time, I have found a partial work-around:
1) Go to you registry
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache
3) Change persistent from 1 to 0.
4) Clean your history and temporary internet-files using Internet Explorer/View/Options etc.

I might have to try that.

I have 5.01SP2 so I can't say first hand about 5.5.

Does it look like it has cleared anything?

I was going to do my 'cleanin' over the weekend and I'll try the registry thing then.

I ran this program also but am unable to get it to delete anything. I hit the ambulance icon and then it restarts my computer and do another search and all the same things come up. Anyone have any suggestions. I have the latest version of ie if that helps.
thanks alot

hey crawdad,

I was going to try the "fix" the readme.txt had that I posted earlier. It was about changing the registry? What version IE do you have. It didn't say if it worked for IE6.

Hi,
I had spider downloaded but uninstalled it because It wasn't performing right. I went to the URL you listed & downloaded again. Now, it won't function. Each time I go to clean, it tells me that spider.exe is not installed & I must install it from the original software??? the icon spider.exe is in the folder. Also, it says on install that it is 350KB but when it downloads, its only 323KB. Is there another site to download this from?
Thanks,
Bev

Hi,

Thanks for the 'Spider' prog.
it chopped those files right off.
Now im still stuck with a SWP file
which has turned into a MONSTER.
It is now the biggest file on my PC.
Im running on a 700 MB Drive
so i would like to trim it back hard.

I think Mr Wanrooij has made an
excellent program with 'Spider'

I'm running IE 3.02 which is old
but 'Spider' works fine on it.

I heard that defrag in safe mode
will clear out the swap file, but it
makes no difference to mine.

Playing around with the swap file size on a 700MB drive could cause you a bit of problems or it could save some space. Currently I would suspect you have windows controlling your virtual memory. Windows sometimes can be over generous but other times, especially on smaller drives it can control to prevent problems. Here is a site that explains VM settings but be careful in your experimentation. If you get into trouble remember to use safe mode to change back your settings.

I received an email that stnwerks replied to my tread about Spider, but I am unable to find it even though I followed the thread in my email message. Can anyone help?
Many thanks,

there has been a problem with some

that post is at the bottom of the page
so this may be the reason.
i am given to understand this problem
is related to bandwidth, and has now
been addressed.
Hopefully these niggles will soon be
sorted.
Techguy is aware of the bandwidth
issue, and it is in hand.
Or maybe even done by now.

Can anyone please give me instructions as to how I can sign on to my PC with a default name so I can see if Spider will work for me?
Thanks

Hopefully you have a windows logon screen, if so when the log on screen comes up do not enter a password or name, just click cancel. That will take you to your default desktop.
