looks like it uses some wininet.dll calls to clear the cache

WININET.DeleteUrlCacheEntry
WININET.FindCloseUrlCache
WININET.FindFirstUrlCacheEntryA
WININET.FindFirstUrlCacheEntryA

but leaves the last visited url in "E:\Documents and
Settings\-username-\LocalSettings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5\index.dat"

However cache misses, redirected urls and urls that are clicked through
persist.
