Trouble W/IE6

[TennesseeStud]

Having problems with one of my Browsers IE6 on my second drive. I do believe it was my son-in-law that did it but not sure? He was over and trying to help me with a problem I was having with my CD-R burner. He noticed that I hadn't cleaned my cookies out on my browser and when ahead and cleaned them. Now ever time I shut that browser down all of the addresses I had in the address bar are gone. I'm thinking maybe he cleared the history out and set some setting so that it clears out the addresses when I shut down the browser!

Don't ask me why coz I dunno really but I can't find the setting to reset it back to where I don't have to type ever address into the address bar ever time I want to change sites.....

Appreciate any help you'd be willing to give me with this issue!



Thanks!

Check the following:
Tools > Internet Options > General Tab
History section > Settings button > check to see how many days history is being held .. my guess is that its been dropped to 0. You can increase it to the default 20 days.

Thanks Statica, I appreciate that answer. It's now back to the default as you said (20) Days. For some crazy reason I couldn't think of that. Duh ops: Take care and have a great night....

Say Statica that address bar on IE6 is back to doing it again and now it's happening on both drives. I've check all the setting and the History setting is on default 20days. I also checked Zone Alarm, my Firewall and there's nothing in there that would be erasing the History either.

HELP Please!

Well, I just Wanted to put the finishing touches to these post I've added up here on this issue! First off, let me thanks you Statica for your input. Even though that wasn't the answer to the issue, I did at least get a response from you.

It comes down to this for a solution I do believe, I run Zone Alarm for my Firewall. It has a setting under privacy to where you can set how often you want Zone Alarm to clear the Cache Cleaner. I use to have that set to clear the Cache ever day. I've changed that to ever 30 days now and the history in the address bar is staying in there for awhile now. I'm not all that sure it really did fix the problem coz tonight when I opened the browser the address bar was clean again?

I suppose the best way to put that is I think I have it fixed for now ever now and then!

That's about it and I just want ever one to know I do appreciate their input! Heheh, Oh well you can't win ever time now can you? Later Gator!

Vaya Con Dios amigos.
