I can't delete history, for some unknown reason history won't always delete
when i go in to tools, internet options- Internet Expolrer, I'm running
Windows XP home edition, any help would be appreciated. Pierce
 
Hi,
With no IE windows open, try it from Control Panel> Internet Options>
General> Clear History. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=323687

You might need to delete the damaged History folder- a new one will be
created on restart.

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder in Windows 9x,2K, XP.

Another program might be locking your history.

The ActiveX filter of McAfee (and possibly other) anti-virus programs can
interfere with the history function of IE. Just disable the ActiveX filter
(on the Internet Filter tab.)
