IE 6 address bar shows today's urls only

[yaelede]

Something happened to my IE settings, because it stopped to remember
visited urls. When I turn on my computer, IE address bar drop-down
doesn't work, it only shows the default page. Then it begins to
remember urls during the day, but when I shut down, it clears
everything again. Auto-complete works however.

How can I set it to work again?

Hi,
If in Internet Options< General> History, you have History set to 2 or more
days, then you have another program configured to clear the history
periodically. Check security or privacy type programs which run with each
startup. TweakUI would be one. There are many others.

Thank you Don,

History settings are OK.
I tried to locate the program which might have changed these settings,
but I couldn't..
It seems too difficult to me..

If you have tweakui installed open it at Control
panel>tweakui>paranoia(tab)> make sure all the boxes(especially clear i.e.
history at logon) are UNchecked

You may have a damaged History folder.

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:
