AutoComplete

Mike · Jan 19, 2004

I am working with IE 6 - when I attempt to clear the
AutoComplete register, using Tools->Internet Options-

Clear History, for some reason there are a few entries

that I cannot get rid of. Any thoughts?

Mike,
You probably have a corrupted History folder or index.dat file.

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.

Don

figure out how to get rid of those "few entries"
