Visited link won't reset...

[Ron Reddon INVALID EMAIL]

Found a unique problem on this computer's Internet Explorer. I have a
hyperlink on a web page, that flat refuses to reset to the default link
colors when IE history is cleared. There is nothing wrong with the link
on the page, as I am webspinner for the site, and the coding for the
link is clean.

I had been having problems with random reboots on this PC, and I suspect
I had visited the website via that link when a reboot occurred, which
caused the problem. The Scandisk reboot log, and a log file for IE,
named "IE4 Error Log.txt" which had the affected link in it, concur that
I had visited this link around the time of a random reboot. So...

How do I go about clearing this particular hyperlink's history status?

Searched through the registry and all the files on the hard drive, for
text unique to this hyperlink, but I can't find any other references to
it, except for the original HTML files for the web page.

It is not really a "problem" so to speak, but it still just bugs me. ;-)

IE version: 6.00.2800.1106CO

The contents of the "IE4 Error Log.txt" file are shown below:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 Error Log --

Thanks for that. I had serious brain lock this morning, as I had been up
for about 30 hours straight. The pathetic part about it, is I already
had a DOS batch file already set up to fix the problem using the deltree
command, but I totally forgot that I had set it up. ;-)

For posterity and anyone else who may be seeking the info (make sure
your DOS paths are correct & run this from a reboot into DOS)...

rem start batch file
smartdrv
deltree /y C:\Windows\Tempor~1
deltree /y C:\Windows\Cookies
deltree /y C:\Windows\History
deltree /y C:\Windows\Temp
rem end batch file
