Microsoft Internet Explorer creates a copy of Web pages that you visit in a local folder, or cache. These temporary Internet files allow the browser to display Web pages more quickly when you visit them again. Internet Explorer also creates a log or history of every Web site address that is typed into the Address line. This log or history lets you find recently visited Web sites by suggesting Web addresses as you type.
