IExplorer URL History\cache Query

[dOBsON]

Any of you have the problem where:

When you click on "Clear History" within the Tools\Internet Options button,

When you go back to the address bar in IExplorer and type in the

www.m

It still brings up the history of the browser \ it brings up the previous sites visited that start with 'm', now at this stage i would have expected the "history" to have been cleared out - no?

Please help

It should clear out the history, when you use the button. Have you tried clearing the history .. then closing IE and restarting?

[dOBsON]

Have tried from IExplorer ->Tools->Options->Clear History
Then closed and restarted it - same prob

Have right clicked on IExplorer icon on Desktop and went into options there-> with IExplorer Closed -> Upon restart still has not cleaned out the history ->>>> from the url "address" bar point of view.

Any Suggestions?

Are you running any "antibrowser hijack" utilities that prevent your browser state from changing? It could be a possible explanation.

Try starting your registry editor (START > RUN > regedit)
Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
and try cleaning out everything BUT THE Default key name

Na no "antibrowser hijack" utilities, or anti_spyware running on the system at all...

Its a laptop, running sp1.

This "exec" in the office is putting me under presure for a reason "why" this is happening...muppet.....

I used to have this problem with IE before (then I switched to Firefox ) and sometimes I had to manually right-click and delete each entry to clear them from the history. Check if there are any updates available for IE6 on WindowsUpdate, that might sort it out.

To clear out the web sites visited right click on the task bar, select properties, select the advanced tab, then click clear (clears recent document access, programs and web sites)
