How to delete history?

[Gary]

I have tried to delete sites visted by going
to "Tools" "Internet Options" and then "Clear History."
The history is temporary gone but then all the visited
sites reappear when I next open the browser. Any idea
how to permanently delete these?

Try emptying your temporary internet files and web cache before youn delete your history.

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

You might need to delete the damaged History folder- a new one will be
created on restart.

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.

Spybot S&d has a secure shredder option wheree you can add templates from IE's temp folders and shred them all. IE will then reload new folders for History and Content. It's also great for maintaining your privacy.
