Understanding what is present inside your computer is the key to ensuring that it runs smoothly at all times. The people that created IECacheView understand this and for that reason this program will help you with the lion’s share of that work. The vast majority of day-to-day changes made to system resources come from the internet for the average computer user nowadays and IECacheView can help you see exactly what is going on with your Internet Explorer.
All you have to do is open this piece of software and it will read the cache file of Internet Explorer, letting you know exactly which files are in there. Every file that is in your cache will have its name displayed as well as information regarding its function, location and history. There are ten columns in all, each providing you with a piece of information that falls into one of those categories. With that information, you can decide which files to keep and which files are just wasting your time. In particular, the last time the file was accessed is a great piece of information for knowing right away which files are not necessary for your day-to-day internet browsing needs.

There are a number of interesting freeware files on the market today, but there are few that are as interesting as Resources Extract. The latest version of this excellent piece of software was just released the other day and it contains a number of features that you will undoubtedly find very interesting.
For starters, Resources Extract has a primary function of being able to scan different file types and then remove resources from those files for your personal use in a separate folder of your choice. The files that it has the capability to scan are .dll, .ocx and .exe files and the resources that it can extract include .bmp, .avi and .html files primarily as well as a number of other formats for text, images, multimedia and a number of other things that might come in handy.
So, what exactly does this mean? Simply put, it means that you can go into any file with one of the three file extensions mentioned above and extract any resource from that file so long as it is one of the things the program can do. This allows you to borrow icons, pictures, movies and many other aspects of different files if you decide you like them and would like to use them somewhere else. This can be very useful, especially if you use my .exe files that would have things of that kind.
