SharePoint 2010: Deactivate or enable BLOB Cache

The fastest way I think would be to edit the "web.config" file. Usually you can find that file under: "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\YOURPORT".

Open that file in Notepad and search for "blob". You will see this line:

Set the last parameter "enabled" to "false" to deactivate BLOB Cache. Set it on "true" to enable it.

Also you can change which files should be part of the BLOB cache simply by changing the filetypes in the "path" parameter.

I changed the "path" parameter after one of the CUs for SharePoint 2010 was throwing a lot of errors.
