Hi Steve :-)

Try the following information and see if it helps:

First off, as you are not sure the History folder is corrupted, as a
precaution, let's back up the History first. Follow the steps here.

NOTE: Be sure that ALL instances of IE6 are CLOSED before you do
the install of this (these) .inf files. Otherwise the "old" entries will
just be re-written back to the Registry when you close IE.


Hope this helps.

I had this problem a while back and found no answer that worked. In the end
I created
a new user account and trasferred everything across. All seems OK now.
