Hi Todd
Hi. My address bar history keeps erasing, even after I
set the settings to last for many days (30+) in the
options menu. The settings seem to last for only a couple
of days max. When it gets erased, the number of days
setting in the options menu resets to 0 days also. I have
a suspicion it could be either spyware related, or
perhaps Norton Internet Security causing it. Anyone out
there know what's causing this? Thanks.
Try the following and see if it helps.
IE not keeping my History
Turn off the ActiveX part of McAfee's Internet Filter
or........................
If you have McAfee AV running:
History - Not Being Saved
McAfee gave this solution to the bug where VirusScan 6 stops your Internet
Explorer History file working. Hope it is of some help:
Open VirusScan console
Select "Pick a task..."
Select "Change my VirusScan settings"
Select "Configure VShield background scanning"
Select "Customise your VShield settings"
Select the "Internet Filter" icon from the icons down the left hand side On
the "Detection" tab, in the 'Applet filters' section, remove the tick next
to "ActiveX Controls".
or
Run regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER|Software|Microsoft|Internet Explorer|Main
and insure that Save_Session_History_On_Exit is marked YES and not NO. (I
just checked mine, and it is set to NO by default).
Also try slipping down to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER|Software|Microsoft|Internet Explorer|TypedURLs
or.............
It could be that they History folder has become damaged or corrupted, try
deleting the folder, then reboot and a new one will be created.
Hope this helps.
