The IE cache contains a kind of travel record of the items you have seen, heard, or downloaded from the Web, including images, sounds, Web pages, even cookies. Typically these items are stored in the Temporary Internet Files folder. Storing these files in your cache can make browsing the Web faster because it usually takes your computer less time to display a Web page when it can call up some of the page's elements or even the entire page from your local Temporary Internet Files folder. A full browser cache can slow down your surfing experience. When the cache is full, the browser has to search for the oldest cache segment and delete it before writing the new segment.
Your Internet history is a record of all the sites you have visited. This option gives you the ability to see what sites you have visited. You have to clear the IE history from time to time for your privacy.
The ‘IE Cache and History viewer‘ is a simple and fast freeware utility that allows you manage the internet explorer cache. You can examine web pages you have visited and show them in the internal web browser, view a content of temporary files and cookies. It provides the function to clean the IE cache and temporary files too.
