erasing the history in IE 6.0.2

[Jerry]

Hi,
When you goto Tools>Internet Options and click on delete cookies, files
and clear history it doesn't get rid of the history on the down arrow on
the "back button"...How do you clear that history?

Thanks in advance!

See ya...Jerry

The history on the down arrow on the Back button appplies only to the
current session. It is cleared automatically when you exit IE.
