IE Explorer 6 Locks up when trying to delete temporary internet fi

[Guest]

When I try to delete temporary internet files and offline contents from IE 6
by using tools/internet options off the drop down menu, IE locks up and I
cannot close out of that menu or out of IE either by X'ing out or via task
manager. The only way I can closeout is to reboot my machine! This has been
since I installed XP service pack 2 on my machine. Has anyone else
encountered this??

Thanks

Close IE and open Internet Options from the Control Panel and delete TIF
there.

If that doesn't work see

Hi diane

Try the following and see if it helps:

The History folder can be deleted manually:
See: How To Delete the Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

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.

If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps
