    Hi!

    Theres a page that I need to display in IE, and it needs to stay up all day. It constantly refreshes itself, but everytime it does that, IE's memory consumption increases and increases. It comes back down to reasonable numbers when I minimize the window, then maximize it again.

    So I was wondering if there is a way to automatically and periodically minimize, then maximize IE, or better, a way to simulate the garbage collecting behavior that occurs during screen minimization.

    Thanks!
