Even when i clear the history on my browser, several sites
fail to ever disappear. I've tried deleting all my
temporary internet files and deleting all the cookies, but
they just never go away. Is there any reason for this and
any remedy?
 
Hi,
With no IE windows open, try clearing the History from Control Panel>
Internet Options> General> Clear History.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=323687

These entries might be in the registry in a TypedURLs key:

For an easier, safer removal method, go to
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
and download "DelTypedURL." This INF file will remove ALL entries.

These two freeware programs will remove SOME or ALL entries:
IE Address Bar Editor: http://www.freesoft.fsnet.co.uk/ieedit01.htm
EditURLs: http://www.aandrc.com/editurls/index.htm

You might need to delete the History folder to remove these URLs- a new
History folder will be created on restart.
See: http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder in Windows 9x,2K, XP.

Hope this helps,
Don
