Internet History

I've got two questions...

I have IE Explorer 6 and Whenever I go to Tools, Options, the Clear History button never works. Can someone tell me what's going on?

Also, does anyone if there pieces of software to make History deletion easier?

Do you have Adaware and Spybot 1.3 on your system? Updated and run recently? May be something blocking access that one of these would find and remove. Also run your Antivirus.

History is the list of recent accessed sites on a list in the "Address" bar; just confirming this is the topic of discussion you are asking about.

@ Panama, I have Adaware and Spybot 1.2 running, with no change at all.

@ Iman74, Doesn't History include the list Sundial icon?because that's what I meant.

Have you tried simply deleting everything in your History folder? In XP and 2K, it's located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\History. It's a normal folder, and you can delete whatever you want.
