Controlling IE cache size via GPO

Jan 07, 2009

I have seen this question several times at different message boards, so I’ve decided to write something on it.

The built-in GPO settings do not provide a method for controlling the size of the “Temporary Internet Files”, hence the users (if no restriction on the user profile size exist) can quickly fill up the disk space on their computers. The problem becomes more serious with Terminal Services – user profiles start growing and chewing up the disk space on the server.

Follow the steps outlined in the Adding New Administrative Templates to a GPO article on general instructions on how to add or remove an .ADM file from the Administrative Templates section in GPO.

Does this work for IE 10 as well?
