Hello, I cant find a way to delete the internet pages I
previously viewed days before on internet explorer. I
thought you just go to"tools" than "internet options" but
once im at internet options theres no "delete history"
icon.

In the internet options there is just options to custom
the internet content levels and put in "trusted sites"
and "restricted sites".

Please tell me where i can go to delete the web sites i
privously have viewed so they dont show up anymore.

thanks

The Clear History button is on the General tab. Is that where you're
looking?

A small utility I created that clears certain History Lists

Clear Recent File Lists - Includes Search and Run Menu (Line 41)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Removes your Internet history in Internet Explorer. Clears the address list
drop-down, cached files, history and cookies. In Windows it clears the TEMP
folder and Recycle Bin, the run history, recent documents, and find files
history. It also deletes locked files ("index.dat" and files that are in
use by applications).
