Can't Delete History

[Will Museler]

Going to "Tools" on the Internet Explorer menu bar and
selecting "Internet Tools" from the drop down list.
Among the tabs on this window was "General" where you
could set a home page and set history delete and cookie
delete. This tab is no longer there. Can anyone help?

Thanks


Will

Someone answered this below, so I'm just repeating them.
Go to: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/download.htm
Scroll down to the bottom to repairtabs, save it and then
open it and it should fix it.

Hi Will,

Another thing too: if you wish to delete your history
manually, you can also go to your c: drive, the windows
folder, then History, select everything in there and hit
the delete button.

c:\windows\history\

You can also do a search for all folders named "History"
(sometimes there may be more than one) and delete the
contents of each. Also, if the History folder is in
your "Temp" folder or the "Temoporary Internet Files"
folder, it is good to periodically clear all the contents
out of these two folders, anyway, just as a matter of
periodic maintenance.

Hope this helps, mah man.
