VB Interacting with Internet Explorer
I am hoping someone can help me with three questions that I have about interaction with Internet explorer.
The first is: How do you clear the cache (the equivalent of right clicking on the explorer icon and selecting properties and then selecting the delete button under Temporary Internet Files)?
The second is: How do I submit a URL to a the browser and then after a specified time send another URL to the same browser (not opening another browser)?
The last Question is: How can you tell when Internet explorer is done loading a page from a VB application? I would like to submit a URL and check if the it has finished loading and then submit another.

I would like to give the points to languard, however he only answered one of the questions. The Question that I am having the most difficulty with is the cache question.
