Hi all,

I have some obnoxious links in my file history that can't be removed by
'clearing history'. I know its there because I can type ctrl-O and open a
window for an HTTP addy and it will always turn up if I his the letter the
link starts with. Any clues?

Hi,
These are in the index.dat file in the History folder. You need to delete
the History folder. A new one will be created The procedure is somewhat OS
specific.
See:

And

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder and the index.dat file quickly and easily. There are no
options, settings or "are you sure" warnings. Once you click on Erase, the
history folder is gone. I personally would not enable AutoErase.

Thank You so much!
