I have Windows XP. After clearing my internet history in
the tools/internet options section, I find that if I hit
reload or just go pack to my home page that my history
will reappear if I click history. I have my save history
set to 0. Why is this history not deleted?
 
Not sure, Stephen.....try these steps:

Temp Files: IE/Tools/Internet Options/Delete Temporary Internet Files
Temp Files: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp & TIF
Cookies: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Cookies
History: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\History

AutoComplete:
IE/Tools/Internet Options/Content/AutoComplete/Clear AutoComplete history

Start/Search/Change Preferences/Turn AutoComplete off

To Clear Google Toolbar History

Click on the Google logo to access the drop down menu. Choose the Clear
Search History option. This will clear all the previous searches out of the
drop down box.

Typed URL's: Start/Run/Regedit: Open your registry and find the key below
and delete any value you want to remove.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\

A small utility I created that clears certain History Lists

Removes your Internet history in Internet Explorer. Clears the address list
drop-down, cached files, history and cookies. In Windows it clears the TEMP
folder and Recycle Bin, the run history, recent documents, and find files
history. It also deletes locked files ("index.dat" and files that are in
use by applications).
