This hack will increase your available ROM memory. Some people have reported storage gains of over 9 mb.

You will need to have a storage card with some free memory installed to utilize this hack.

First open up internet explorer and navigate Menu>Tools>Options>Memory and press the delete files button to clear the cache then delete the cache and the history.

Now open up file explorer from the programs folder in the start menu. Navigate to the Storage Card and make sure that you are in the base directory of the card. Then create an IE folder and within that folder create a Cache folder, History folder and Cookies folder as well.

Open up a registry entry program such as Resco Registry that comes with Resco Explorer 2005. Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache". You can change the default value "\Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files" to "\Storage Card\IE\Cache".

Change the other values in the Shell Folders section of the registry to the other folders you created and then soft reset.

Be warned that you will create errors in ie if you do not have a storage card inserted with those directories on it while you are surfing from now on.
