add IE cache setting policy in Active Directory to disable Internet explorer cache
Because the company has dedicated proxy server that control user internet behavior, so that it does not need user cache Internet files, and disable cache can also reduce virus.
There is no such a policy in active directory by default, so that we need write one.
then add it to template in User Configuration -> Administrative Templates, right click then add the IE_Cache_Setting.adm that we created as below.
now you can modify IE cache settings in User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Cache .
please copy following to notepad and save as: IE_Cache_Setting.adm
