The graphic user interface of CacheX is clear and easy to learn. It looks like an explorer window with a flat toolbar that allows you to perform cache related actions. Status bar, tooltips, Tip of the day and the complete help file will help novice users getting started.

Features

The interesting thing of CacheX is that it displays the contents of your cache folder in an explorer-like window. So you'll be able to easy find your way into it and quickly retrieve the files you were looking for. Sincerely the cache listing of CacheX is more interesting that the one of MSIE that only allows you to see a little part of what you've already downloaded while surfing the web. When you launch CacheX, the left part of the window presents in a list the URLs of the websites you've visited. Simply double click an URL to see, in the right panel of the window, the files of this website. Like in the explorer, you can move, copy, paste, delete files and quickview them, thanks to the QuickView Plus support. Obviously you can double click a file to display it quickly! You can also display the properties of each file and due to the copy URL feature you can copy the URL of the selected file in order to use it later in your homepage, for example. CacheX offers filters to help you find the files you're looking for very quickly. An advanced searching feature is also included in this innovative software, so you'll be able to look into your cache folder to find for example MP3 files. But that's not all, far from that! You can create various categories to sort easily your cache data. The 'group by date' feature allows you to view websites sorted by your visiting date. CacheX even lets you import or export the cache contents even from Netscape Navigator!
