It seems that persistent caching can be disabled 
in the key 
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int
ernet Settings\Cache\

Add a setting Persistent of type REG_BINARY with a 
value of 00000000.

According to the Persistent Caching plugin of 
X-Setup (http://www.xteq.com), "After Persistent 
Cache is disabled, clearing TIF & History folders 
from Tools/Internet Options/General Tab will purge 
retained URLs.". The author of this plugin is 
Ojatex () aol com.

I haven't tested this, but it seems worthwhile.
