Clear History Button

[Guest]

These comments are for Microsoft Windows XP Developers.

I'm a computer teacher and I have to answer all the questions my students
asks me. We can clear history through:

Internet Options
General Tab
Clear History button.

The problem is: After clearning the history the button doesn't get disabled.
It is really irritating when my students ask:

What happened?
How we will know that the history is being cleared?
Why the "Clear History" button is still active?

This is a small issue. I have to explain about this issue to every new
student that it will not get disable.

One more thing, why Microsoft has not added Suggestion in Windows XP group?

Comments will highly appreciated.

You probably will not find many Microsoft Windows XP Developers here.

Close all instances of IE and OE first. If you look real close after
clicking the Clear History button, you'll see that it gets a dashed line
around it.

Open %userprofile%\Local Settings\History and look.

Microsoft has a new baby, Windows Vista, none of the other children matter
any more.

What are you talking about? "The dash line around", you will get it on every
button you press if the window remain open after clicking it.
