    How to Change Disk Space to be Used by Internet Explorer "Temporary Internet Files"

       Information
    Temporary Internet Files is where Internet Explorer stores copies of webpages, images, and media of sites that you have visited in Internet Explorer for faster viewing later in Internet Explorer by not having to redownload them.

    This will show you how to change the amount of disk space you want to be used for Temporary Internet Files for Internet Explorer.
       Note
    Like the Recycle Bin, once the set amount of disk space to use has been reached, the oldest viewed temporary internet files will automatically be permanently deleted to make room for newer viewed temporary internet files.

    1. Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click on the Internet Options icon.
    A) Go to step 3.
    OR

    2. In Internet Explorer, click on Tools (Menu bar or gear icon) and Internet Options. (see screenshot below)
