Hello.
Forgive the crosspost; however, I don't know if this is a WinXP issue,
an IE6 issue, or a bit of both.
I've noticed that certain Web addresses that I've visited stick around
permanently in the history, so that if I go to the IE6 address bar or
to Start > Run and type "h", they all appear in the auto-complete
dropdown ("http:// ..."). There are only about half a dozen of these
unclearable addresses, and I can't see any pattern or anything they
have in common.
Things I've tried:
- Deleting cookies, files, and history in IE6's Tools > Internet
Options.
- The Clear button in Taskbar and Start Menu Properties.
- TweakUI's "Clear document history on exit". (Wow.)
Anyway, it's harmless but very annoying. Why might this happen, and
can I prevent it?
