history deletion

[Ray]

I can not delete website history. Either one site at a
time by highlighting the site listed then clicking
delete, or via "internet options" and clicking clear
history. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for a quick response.

In the # of days listed in internet options,set to zero.
If any days are listed then history will follow,in zero
mode,a day is kept till reboot,at zero,clear history,
reboot,all is gone.

try this:
open my computer and go to somewhere like here ->
C:\Documents and Settings\user(or your login name)\Local Settings\History
and then delete whatever entry you want.

better yet. if you want to delete just the typed URL in the address bar in
IE.
open regedit from run
then go here :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLS
then select the typed URLs you dont want on the right side. right click and
delete. Be careful though, see WINXP stores 25 typed URL maxium but if the
entry you dont want happens to be URL1 then the rest will be gone too.

A small utility I created that clears certain History Lists

Clear Recent File Lists - Includes the Run Menu (Line 41)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

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).
