SUMMARY

Microsoft Internet Explorer for Macintosh caches Internet addresses that you type in the Address box, but the cached addresses are not saved when you quit Internet Explorer. The next time you start Internet Explorer, the cached addresses are no longer available.

MORE INFORMATION

Internet Explorer for Macintosh clears cached Address box entries each time you quit Internet Explorer. However, the contents of the History.htm file located in the System Folder:Preferences:Explorer folder are not cleared when you quit Internet Explorer. To access the contents of the History.htm file, click Open History on the Go menu in Internet Explorer.

To modify the number of Internet addresses that are stored in the History.htm file, click Preferences on the Edit menu, click the Advanced tab, modify the value under History, and then click OK.
