Clear Internet Explorer cache when IE exits

Internet Explorer is notorious for consuming large amounts of disk space for
cache. This can cause major problems with roaming profiles. With this hack, you can
force IE to clean up its cache every time it’s closed. You will save a lot of
space and shouldn’t see a performance problem unless you are in the habit of
opening and closing IE multiple times during the day. This automatically clears
the cache.

Key:
