Under IE3 and Netscape you can set the caching to 0<br />
<br />
For IE3, Options-&gt;Advance-&gt;Settings<wbr /><br />
For Netscape4, Preference-&gt;Advance-&gt;Cache<wbr /><br />
<br />
Set them to 0.<br />

Yeah, but I need to turn the caching off on the clients machine from the server (or find another way of sending passwords). I won't be able to get physically near the clients machines to set their browsers up for them.<br />

how about using an applet to get the passowrd.<br />
That way, the entry won't be cached.<br />
<br />
If you accept this, I will submit this as answer.<br />

I am building an intranet site that requires a userID and password for the users to get past the first page. At the moment the passwords are passed from a form as part of the URL. The trouble with this method is that the url gets cached in the temporary internet files directory on the client, so anybody can go up to someone elses pc and retrieve their id and password from the cache. Is there a way to turn off the cacheing on the clients machine, or a better (more secure) way to send passwords?? (the server is NT 4.0 running IIS3.0, the clients are w3.1,w95 and nt)<br />
