I have IE 6. As of yesterday, when i go into
Tools/Internet Options, i am no longer able to click on
the Clear History button for emptying the History URL
file. The button is not in Bold any more. Is there a
setting that i changed to make this happen?
 
Hi.

I saw this a few posts below yours, might want to have a
look: "How do I prevent users from clearing"

Not the best reply I realize, but a tad bit of info that
may help.

Tony,
The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).

--or manually--
Open Regedit to the following locations:
If either or both are found either delete the entry or change the value.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"History"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control
Panel]
"History"=dword:00000001

Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)
Note: always Export before editing.
