Mark,

There is a setting in the IE4 options page, to load once per session, but evidently that's never worked (can you say bug?) like it did in IE3. Setting the registry entry by hand does work quite well.

>>I found this in the IE newsgroup:
>>
>>If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\AutoRefreshLocalPage is set to "yes" change it to "no"
>>
>>And it'll stop the incessant re-downloading of images from pages that you just visited a couple of minutes ago. This actually makes IE4 perform quite well on a site like the UniversalThread where you spend a lot of time. Heck it might even make the MS website pages load faster. *g*
