Plagued by History

I have been carefully following the "Clear History"
procedure from the Internet Tools section of the Tools
menu on the Toolbar, and yet if I click on the Histroy
icon in the toolbar, I am immediately shown all the
History that should have just cleared. Can anyone help
me?
 
typical microsoft I'm having the same trouble thought I
would find and answer here...ha ha ha ha ha ha
 
Hello,
you can delete the History folder itself. On Y2k,XP It is accessible as
<SystemRoot>:\Documents and Settings\<UserAccount>\Local Settings\History.

You may have to do it with all IE windows closed.
Use the Control Panel's Internet Options applet
or just Run... (e.g. press Win-R and enter:)
control inetcpl.cpl
Certain virus scanners are also known to interfere with the
normal operation of the History folder so shut them down too
if necessary.


Good luck
