First of all, I got to tell you that these are
two different programs. They're created by the same person, so
they have similar function and capabilities. The objective is to
use your browser as an off-line browser.
IE Cache Explorer and Netscape Cache Explorer, just like the
title explores your browser's (it has to be IE or Netscape) cache
folder. It arranges the list of sites you recently visited in an
Windows Explorer-like look. On the left windows is the list of
severs, listed like folders, and on the right are files from the
server. You can even do a search on the cache.
Have you ever tried opening a html file from Netscape cache
folder manually? It's like trying to find file m@#asf$(d among
files like m)^%(aa^sdf and m8^j302asd3^. When you do find the
file you're looking for, you open it in your Netscape, the links
within the same server are broken, and what's worse the images
don't show.
If you use cache explorer, the links are restored, and images are
shown fine. Well IE user may not have the problem of looking in
file m25asd@#&, but using cache explorer really beats looking
at the un orderly history folder.
This (oops) these cache explorer can't be put into full use is if
you only have a small cache, like less than 5 MB. Such a small
cache won't allow you to see places you've visited a while ago.
Well, that's one weakness.
Another one is that you have to see the files in your browser.
You can't double click and open the program associated. You have
to see it in the browser.
Besides those two, I can't see anything bad. Nag screen isn't
annoying, and installation is very simple. You just unzip, and
the program is ready. No need to put it in a certain directory,
it just search the cache by itself. You can make a shortcut
yourself if you want to.
