history still viewable after deleting

[sha]

IE6/WinXPHome SP2. It doesn't happen all of the time, but quite often after
having clicking the Clear History button the History list is still viewable.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

Hi,
With no IE windows open, try clearing the History from Control Panel>
Internet Options> General> Clear History.

You may have a damaged History folder.You can delete the History folder and
a new one will be created on restart.
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder in Windows 9x,2K, XP.

The ActiveX filter of McAfee (and possibly other) anti-virus programs can
interfere with the history function of IE. Just disable the ActiveX filter
(on the Internet Filter tab.)

Thanks Don, deleting the History folder seems to have done the trick.
