Why not just go to IE Tool/Internet Options/General/Under Temp Internet
Files click delete. You can do the same for Cookies and History.
Further if you go to IE /Tools/Int Options/Advanced then scroll down to
where if you wish you can tick 'Empty Temp Int Files Folder when Browser
closes."
Seems much simpler to me .
