Internet Explorer 7 now comes with an option to automatically delete all your temporary files in your browser cache when IE7 closes. For you who are paranoid about privacy, this is a no brainer.

You can clear all your temporary browsing files when you exit IE7. Don't want those images hanging around? This should do it for you.

What's the downside of it? These temporary files form a cache that will speed up your browsing experience. For those on broadband, however, the effect is not very noticeable.

Clear your Temp Browser Files Upon Exit:

1. Open IE7
2. Click the Tool menu (Gear icon upper right hand corner)
3. Select Internet Options
4. Click Advanced tab
5. Check Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed
6. Click OK
7. Restart Browser
