Windows XP: "clear history" doesn't clear ALL history
"clear history" doesn't clear ALL history
by skUMD - 8/25/05 6:20 AMEven when I do "clear history" under internet options, there are still addresses that aren't deleted. When I click on the address bar and backspace all the way, a ton of addresses show up (that don't start in www) and I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of them. Any ideas? Thanks.
That's not history.

That's AUTOCOMPLETE. You can clear that in another place.
Cheers,

Clear autocomplete where?

Where can this be cleared? I am not sure if this has anything to do with it, but under the advanced tab of internet options I do NOT have "use inline autocomplete" checked.

CLEAR HISTORY doesn't clear ALL HISTORY
by ctaiwo - 9/6/05 3:55 AM In reply to: "clear history" doesn't clear ALL history by skUMDGo to Internet options, click clear history,
Temporary Internet Files---Delete Cookies, Files
Go to CONTENTs---Click AutoComplete---tick all the boxes & click on the Clear AutoComlete History and Clear Passwords
Under Security---- Set the Security level of both the Internet, Intranet and the Trusted Sites to MEDIUM
Look under the Connections---if there is any connections that were not created by you, delete them.
GOOD LUCK
