Gmax's instructions covers it pretty well - but just in case you're not sure how to find the files to delete in explorer it should be this file-path (on default browser/OS settings, assuming windows is installed on C -and it doesn't like other drive letters much so it probably is):
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
IE10 in particular sometimes users a further file location, for some users this may be pretty empty (just a 0kb container.dat at the minimum, but that's hidden under default settings as well), for others there could be a lot in it though:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5
As an aside Shift-delete isn't really necessary, but it does save the hassle of removing the files from the recycle bin afterwards - they're all temporary files (in fact, everything in C:\users\%username%/appdata/local is temporary and would be automatically replaced if deleted, however many of the files contain settings for programs and there's generally no reason to touch them so it's best to just stick to the temporary internet files folder to avoid losing any program settings) anyway so it's harmless to delete them. It also skips past any confirmations for large files that might fit in the recycle bin, though it's very unlikely anything of that size would be in there anyway.
Edit: This shouldn't be needed as IE normally manages to wipe the history with it's builtin feature correctly, but just in case the history filepath is:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History
@edgework: That really shouldn't be necessary (it's the ISPs fault here it would seem), but masking the symptoms for the GS site is certainly one way to deal with it. Can't imagine many sites use server side routing to counter client side cache issues.
