How To: Disable Automatic Proxy Caching In Internet Explorer
The Automatic Proxy Result Cache is a performance enhancement that was added to Internet Explorer 5.5 and later. The purpose of the cache is to reduce the client-side processing of the automatic proxy configuration script. When Internet Explorer is configured for the usage of automatic proxy configuration, it caches the information which is already returned. In case a proxy server fails, you might then get an error message, although programs are available. By a simple setting, you are able to disable caching in order to ensure that the browser checks for the latest information at any time.
- Start the Windows registry editor by clicking Start, then, Run, and then entering regedit.
- You’ll need to provide administrative confirmation if User Account Control(UAC) is turned on(If you are using Windows Vista).
- Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
- From the Edit menu select New -> DWORD value.
- Enter a name of EnableAutoproxyResultCache and press Enter.
- Double click the new value(EnableAutoproxyResultCache) and set to 0.
Note: Setting “0″ will disable automatic proxy caching.If you want to enable automatic proxy caching(this is the default behavior) in Internet Explorer at a later time, set it “1″ or simply delete the this key.
- Click OK and exit Windows Registry Editor.
- Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
You can also disable automatic proxy caching in Internet Explorer through Group Policy Editor (Note: This tweak is not applicable to Windows XP Home,Vista Starter,Vista Home & Vista Home Premium editions).
