"Persistent" Cookies?

[Brian]

Howdy All,

After I use Tools in IE to clean out cookies, delete temp internet files,
and clear history, I still have some sites that are 'stuck' when I use
ctrl+o to type a url.

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these?

Thanks,
Brian

Maybe not the solution you want but what I do is use Firefox web
browser and set the option for it to empty the cookie folder everytime
the browser is closed.

Another option is to get this prog

and use it to empty the IE cookie folder for you. You can set it up to
empty all your temp and cookie folders with one click.

Thanks Wesley, worked like a charm!

BTW, why would only a few urls be stuck after delete cookies, clear history,
etc?

Brian,

Beats me.

I have AutoComplete turned off. I have a hard enough typing without
something else confusing me. ;-) I have AutoComplete turned off in MS Word
as well, but Word Help has it in the Index and I hate it.
