IE history

[news]

For anyone that can help:
I am having problems with IE history,
I can not clear IE history.
I do set the date to 0 and click on "clear history"
I have an XP, IE 6

Thank you for anyone's help

Do a Deltree command in DOS:
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers_8.htm#deltree

http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

Follow the instructions to the letter. You will be left with new Index.dat
file of 32 KB, and a newly created History folder. The same will apply if
you go the distance and do a Deltree on TIF and Cookie folders. It is
unnecessary to do that if they are in good working order.

Hi News

Try the following and see if it helps.

Clearing Address Suggestions in IE - Per Jim Byrd

To delete ALL Addresses in the Drop Down list, go here and download
and install Mike Burgess' DelTypedURL.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm See below for Selective Delete.

You can also get DelSearchMRU.inf at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelSearchMRU.inf

Note: this does not remove entries entered via AutoComplete. To remove
hidden AutoComplete entries in History:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm#AutoComplete

IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure that ALL instances of IE6 are CLOSED before you
install the .inf files.

A nice alternative just for selective or all Address (not Search) history
maintenance is EditURLs, here: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/ Here also,
you must close ALL instances of IE6 for the deletions to "take".

How to clear Address Bar History

See this section: Instructions for Internet Explorer users

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm
Deletes the History folder (and the index.dat file). When you reboot, a new
folder is created

Delete History folder manually:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

In order to prevent the Autocomplete from working, close all open browser
windows or it will not take effect. Go to Tools | Internet Options | Click
the Content tab. Click the button that says Autocomplete. Uncheck Web
Addresses and all other items you don't want used with Autocomplete.
CAUTION: Be careful clearing passwords, be sure you have them backedup

Hope this helps.

First, close all your microsoft IE windows except for one.

Secondly, click on Tools in the top toolbar

Next, click on Internet Options.

Next, as you have already done, make sure the date is set
to 0 and you click on history.

Next, move up in the box and click on "Delete Files".

Once you've done all this, close the box and the IE
window.

Now, open a new window. Check on your history. There
should be nothing in the history folder except this one
new window you've just opened. Hope this helps.

What's "fair" got to do with it?

Mercy! That change in Subject line sounds ominous! "until OP returns - if
ever" <g>

Fair? Why....nothing. It's just an old saying. ;-) All's fair in posts
and ears. <vbg>

I hope you don't find me overly harsh or unfair in the above, but also it
just so happens that the very first post he submitted was replied to by a
personal friend of mine, who I know goes out of his way to help people above

in the thread he hijacked that "no-one replied" (no answer, or whatever it
was) . :-| Anyway, we "hijacked" his thread but did offer replies and then

No, I read the reply in the thread we both replied to further down, and

they were able to get the information to work, or went elsewhere to find an

enough to let us know if they were ok, or needed more help, understanding

don't work for all, and we need to dig in a little deeper for them. At
least now I understand why the subject change. I just thought you were

L! If you haven't tried the clip-ons, even for an experiment, you have no
idea what the scale of pain and misery is. Try High-C above a scream. The
RACK is nothing compared to an hour in clip-on earrings. As for the
screw-ons, if you make even a 1/2 turn too many, you will wind up with your
earring missing, with your earlobe still attached.....<sigh.......
