Clear I.E. drop box

[Guest]

HI,

Maybe you can download one of those temporary programs like windows
washer, a shredder program, or another programs like that. I know that not
all of these programs clear the I.E. box, but then there other programs that
do.

Good Luck.

Log onto another user with Admin privileges or create a user with Admin

Good thought. I have administrator privileges, and no other user is
listed under LOG OFF|SWITCH USERS.
In Safe Mode I can log on as "administrator", but the Temporary Internet
Files subdirectory does not appear, under <my account>|Local Settings (nor
the Administrator account).

In normal mode, the subdirectories of INDEX.DAT can be deleted, but to no
effect on this issue.

There is also another index.dat file in:

%userprofile%\Local Settings\History\History.IE5

Not here. That path shown as not valid (no History.IE5), though there are
subdirectories and history entries - Today, Last Week, etc.

This minor conundrum seems to be related to auto complete. Its entries
must reside somewhere. Perhaps one day the answer will materialize.^

Hi dev,

You need to delete the folder not just the contents. And also, remember
that you can not delete this folder from your own account while running it.

As for Auto-Complete and your theory: )

Checkpoints to consider in the meantime:

1. Documents and Settings\<username>\App

2. Cookies
