Link colors

[Schmthaus]

Very annoying problem!! In IE under (Tools/Internet
Options/Colors/Links) I have my unvisited link color set to blue and my
visited link color set to red. Now though, the visited links have stopped
changing to red, making it difficult to remember which links I've already
followed. This isn't the first time this has happened, unfortunately I
don't know how it has straightened it's self out in the past. I've confirmed
that my settings are still on the colors I specified and even tried a system
restore. No luck. Any ideas? Thanks!

When you delete cookies file the colours change back to
default.

Hi,
Probably caused by corruption in the History folder. Delete the History
folder and a new one will be created on restart.

Are you sure that your settings are not being overridden by the website's
CSS?

Here is a page that doesn't use any.

Do the link colors display as expected?

WRONG. When you delete *history* the colors change back to default.
