1 - I have 100's of these files in windows/docs & settings/local
service/local settings/history/history.IE5

slowing it down....?!

1. Don't know
2. These are uninstall folders for windows fixes. All they do is occupy
disk space. Unless your disk needs the space, they cause no harm. However,
if you do wish to delete them, copy them to a removable disk first. After
all, you never know what the future may bring.

There is one MSHist######## file for each day of history that you have set
IE to retain. The daily history is stored in the Index.dat file in that
folder.

Internet Explorer | Tools | Internet Options | General tab |
Days to keep pages in history

Days to keep pages in history:
[[Specifies the number of days that Internet Explorer should keep track of
your viewed pages in the History list.
Internet Explorer creates shortcuts to pages you viewed in this and previous
browsing sessions. If you are low on disk space, you might want to decrease
this number.]]
