Each element of the control panel is determined by a. Cpl present in the system32 folder of Windows. If you rename the name of one of these files, this has the effect of hiding the icon.

Internet options on the Windows browser, Internet Explorer, can be changed from this menu. There are multiple settings like cache site move the file, set the disk space used by the cache etc. The cache is a picture of the sites you've visited, so if you return to the site, the browser displays the page from cache and not re-downloading the page from the website. This is to accelerate the page display, however, the higher your cache size, the slower is the display site for the latter. Moreover, with connection speeds of greater and greater, less use of the cache is interesting.
