IE 10 on Windows 7 SP1 x64 Professional: WebcacheV01.dat size

This is very simple. You have your setting for saving the sites you have visited with IE set to high. Reset them to 30 days.

I made the mistake of setting it to 160 day and couldn't figure out why my hard drive was running all of the time and IE was freezing up.

Reduce your "Days to keep pages in history" to 30 days. All will be good.

I recently changed from IE9 to IE 10 Preview on my Windows 7 SP1 x86 and x64 Professional systems. IE 10 is functioning very well on my systems.

Variable WebcacheV01.dat is located in the C:\Users\"MyName"\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Webcache folder. This variable keeps increasing in size at a rate of 5-10 mbytes per day depending on my browsing requirements.

I have not been able to define a setting or method for limiting the size of WebcacheV01.dat or for clearing it.

Does anyone know how to control the size of this variable?

Even if one doesn't use IE and have disabled it, a dllhost.exe runs in the system with ur username governing location AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache, the dllhost is related to Widows Internet - wininet ~ I'd love to get rid off the web cache dll I don't use it nor need it.
