How to use rundll32.exe command to clear IE cache?

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8 clears the Temporary Internet Files.

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2 clears Cookies.

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1 clears History.

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16 clears Form Data.

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32 clears Passwords.

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255 deletes all.

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351 deletes all including files and settings stored by add-ons.

Here is a discussion in microsoft.com is Script Center.

However, the above link is only for IE 7 under Windows XP. If your Windows Vista has Internet Explorer 8, then you may be out of luck. There doesn't appear to be any way of clearing the cache by script for Internet Explorer, at least none that I have read of.

Still, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try the scripts for IE 7.
