Ah, for some reason I have 2 users in the company whose IE browsers when they open them up in the morning will display the old pages from the last time they looked at the page and not the current page. Ex: they open it up today, but it will display the page for Friday, when they refresh it - it updates the page. I have deleted cookies, temp files, temp internet files, deleted all off-line content, cleared history, selected in IE settings to automatically check for newer versions of pages, reformated the harddrive (just kidding!)... Anyways, where is that setting kept - I am really sick of looking for it? IE 5.5, Win98.

Not sure if there is an answer other than your joke answer. Is this a page on an Intranet or is it external. Also, is it the same page for each user. There is an option you can do in HTML code so that the page is not cached. If both people have thisproblem on the same page, maybe it is something in the code. Have you tried this with other PC's and had the same behavior or was it different?

No Intranet here man, I am talking about one user going to cnn.com and the other going to drudgereport.com - those are their homepages.

BTW, other PC's do not do that - we have about 200 here - these are the only two that do it (as far as I know)

It means their browsers re-use the old stuffs. In IE 5.5
Tools-->Internet Options -->advanced-->under the subheading "security", click the option "clear Temporary Internet files folder when the browser is closed."

If it does not help; please give more details to identify the problem.
