AOL 9.0? Google search took about 33 seconds:
1. Click the 'Settings' icon on the AOL toolbar and a window will pop-up
2. Under the 'Essentials' tab click on 'Internet (Web) Options'
3. Under the 'General' tab there is a section labeled 'Temporary Internet Files'
4. Click 'Settings' within this section.
5. Next make sure under 'Check for newer versions of stored pages:' that the first option: "Every visit to the page" is selected.
6. Click OK
7. Click the 'Delete Files...' button
8. Check the box for 'Delete all offline content' and click the 'OK' button
9. At this point your AOL cache has been cleared. Click the 'OK' button to close the AOL Internet properties box.

There are an incredible amount of people who don't believe there is any alternative method of connecting to the Internet - to them the Internet IS AOL. I run into people all the time who pay $24.99 plus the $30-$40 or whatever for a second phone line and the REFUSE to get broadband. I tell them its cheaper and over 100x faster, and they are like "we're not ready to make the switch, we've used AOL since it started."
Click Tools, Interent Options, Delete Cookies, OK, Delete Files, check the box to delete offline content, OK, Delete History, Yes.
Then, open up the C: drive (Start, My Computer, C: drive), Documents and Settings, choose the User you are logged in as, Tools, Folder Options, View tab, under "Hidden files and folders" choose "Show hidden files and folders", Apply, OK, Local Settings, History, Edit, Select All, hit the 'Delete' key. Click Tools, Folder Options, View tab, check "Do not show hidden files and folders", Apply, OK. Be sure to empty the Recycle Bin.
You wouldn't believe how many guys at work I had to write this out for... Yeah, they were shopping for their wifes' birthday online... Uh-huh...
EDIT: Oh, and if she is running a firewall, be sure to "clean" it out as well.
