How can I turn off auto refresh in Internet Explorer 7

November 24, 2008 by Gautam

Auto refresh is not a new feature. It’s part of IE since, 5 and has also been in IE 6. Auto Refresh in Internet Explorer / IE is known as Meta-Refresh.

This is not a browser feature, but a websites feature, for ex- a cricket website would have auto-refresh feature hook enabled in its Score card page.

But some times the page or site may refresh frequently, even before you are done with the content on that particular page. This Meta-Refresh or auto-refresh feature can be turned of forcefully, but you should be very sure before you turn it off, as a lot of websites need this feature to be enabled by default.

To turn of Auto-Refresh or Meta-Refresh :

1> Goto Tools -> Internet Options – > select the tab Security

    Thanks for the info. Also, thanks to Ask.com for bringing me here. Searched many times in Google, but never found the answer. I’m starting to swich my searches to Ask, as I’ve read that their privacy practices are much better.

    Hi,
    Thanks for this well written write-up. I did wonder how auto-refresh worked and was controlled in IE.

    Best regards,

    Thanks. I needed to find out how to disable auto-refresh in Internet Explorer and Firefox. Now I just have to find Firefox.
