clearing history

[Guest]

How do you clear history on my computer. I have xp, and dsl, my computer
runs slow. A friend told me to clear my history to help in run faster.

Open IE6, go to TOOLS - INTERNET OPTIONS.. you should now see the buttons
that will enable clearing of history, cookies and temporary internet files..

TCP Optimizer here http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php may help.

Hi Michele,

Run this combo:

Run Ad-Aware SE, Spybot and HijackThis:

Note: Update each program, once installed, before running.

History- Remove

This process works and clears them from run also:

Clear IE History, AutoComplete, Clear the TIF, Clear the RunMRU, Typed URL's
and Clear List (depending on which Start Menu you are using): Right click
the Start button/Properties/Customize/Advanced/Recent Documents/Clear List.

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
