IE will not remove a page from its history

[OhioSteve]

I am working on a java applet in an HTML page. I am testing it on IE on my workstation. IE has started to remember my page so that I cannot see my changes to the page or the applet! I have done many things to suppress this behavior:

under Internet Options/general tab...
I clear the page history
reduced days to keep pages in history to zero
I press delete cookies every few minutes
I press delete files every few minutes

under Internet Options/general tab/settings button
I set "check for newer versions of stored pages" to "every time"
I set "amount of disk space to use" to 1 mb.

This behavior started suddenly. Before it started, I could get a fresh view of the page whenever I started IE. Now it will not "forget" the old applet or the old html page. Please advise.

if you go into internet options/general and click the "delete files" button then hit refresh or F5 it should reload.

If you check your C:\Documents and Settings\Main_PC\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
folder every now and then to make sure the class file isn't in there and if it is delete it, it should have no choice but to reload.

I actually have the Temp Internet files folder open. I do a select all/delete. Then I empty the recycle bin. Then I load the page. The old version loads!! It should be impossible, I would not believe it if I read this.

Ctrl+f5 does nothing.

I searched on my own HD for my applet. I suspected that it was hiding somewhere. But it was not found.

Temporary Internet files is 100% empty. When I log onto tek-tips it challenges me, because all of my tek-tips stuff is gone. Yet it remembers the page that I am creating.

Just for kicks, try appending something to the end of the URL following a question mark thus changing the URL. See what happends.

I completed the project by changing the page and applet names repeatedly. So I did not need to solve the problem with IE on my workstation.

I've used the technique Todd mentioned to good effect. For the "something unique" part I just use the time.
