During a browsing session, no other program than the browser needs to be run in the background! Therefore, contents in Cache Reader and Internet Explorer are fully compatible, reliability of information retrieval is guaranteed, and minimum storage is used. It exclusively uses the database of Internet Explorer. The Cache Reader does not generate its completely own database. The Cache index file of Internet Explorer is not changed at all, however. To increase comfort you may select the font for viewing and printing. Searching for any text string and sorting is supported also. It can open any URL in Internet Explorer, copy URLs, print out the complete listing or selected ranges or save it as text, CSV or HTML file. Different from Explorer, it does not list the cookies that are not really contained in the TIF folder. It can operate also on non-system folders, even on remote machines.

Users who like History Reader, will probably like this very similar program also!Ĭache Reader does not use Windows APIs and therefore it can show all entries, even those that are suppressed or lost by Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer.

The design is aimed at most clear and synoptic presentation of only the relevant information, easy and fast operation, although versatile options are provided. As the page titles are not contained in the index they cannot be listed. It shows the URLs of the pages stored in cache and the dates of latest visit. The Cache Reader application was designed to display REDR records in the index.dat file of the cache, in addition to the conventional functionality.Ĭache Reader reads the index.dat file in the Temporary Internet Files (TIF) folder of Internet Explorer 5 or in any other folder selected and presents data as a synoptic table, either in chronological or alphabetical order.
