delete all history under the view "by order visited today"

[rtharder]

Cant seem to figure out how to completely delete
everything at once in this view. Control+shirt wont pick
up all of the items for deletion. I am deleting them one
at a time. Very tedious. Thanks

Did you try Tools | Internet Options | Clear History?

Dave,
Possibly your History folder is corrupt:
[XP\2K]
Log on as Administrator and delete the desired <username> folder(s).
[example]
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\HISTORY"
