I used this with my Me machine (many moons ago), it worked for me then. You
may wish to get Mike's blessings on this one, or someone else that is
currently using it, before use. This little .exe file just simplifies
matters and does not require booting from a floppy (IIRC, it creates a batch
file that is run during boot). It is called <iecache2.js> (javascript
file) and is available from
http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/Tweekz.htm ,
scroll down a little over halfway on the page.
Heirloom, old and sure could use some rain
