Guest JS Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Re: clearing internet history Take a look at CCleaner as a tool to remove Internet history info, cookies, temp files, auto complete and other junk. In the 'Windows' tab listing check the item types you want deleted. Also available is customization, see Options/Custom to add any other/additional folders you want files deleted from. http://www.ccleaner.com/ JS "ishamay" <ishamay@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:BA179410-DF47-4BC6-80E8-01274E8145E8@microsoft.com... >i have tried to clear the history to most common way by going to internet > properties but there is one website that would not clear so i tried > finding > it in the registry key the web site wasnt in there any other ideas as to > how > i can completely clear these websites from my history. > > thanks > > ishamay2000@yahoo.com

Guest Newbie Coder Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Re: clearing internet history Kelly, I see you are copying registry keys that other users & I have supplied in this newsgroup to expand your minimal knowledge Secondly: C\Docs & Settings... I know many users who have D:\Docs & Settings... No mention in your reply about the drive letter Thirdly, You haven't told the user how to get into the registry & which keys to delete in the right pane You also forgot to tell the user if in the OpenSaveMRU for the Common Dialog Box Control if he/she has to delete the STRING/DWORD values or both The recent file list can be cleaned via a shortcut. Did you know that? NO of course you never What about [Drive Letter]\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\content.IE5? There arte subdirectories with cached files too The users original post asked about the TypedUrls... List. So, in your reply of cleaning the Temp files is totally wrong Talking of Temp files you can use START | RUN | Type %temp% & press ENTER to get there. Plus you never told the OP about this directory... is hidden & how to unhide it. Also, what about the [Drive Letter]\Windows\Temp directory? Maybe you forgot that too From your reply about the RunMRU... you missed out StreamMRU too, Doc Find Spec MRU ('one' of the 'find' files... registry keys) Maybe you should go to the Windows 2000 Resource Kit & brush up on your registry skills as they are terribly lacking: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/w2rkbook/regentry.mspx?mfr=true Also, Internet Explorer 7 has a different utility to clean files.

Guest JS Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Re: clearing internet history Try this, it worked for me: 1) Open Internet Explorer 2) In the Menu Bar select: View/Explorer Bar/History (Ctrl+h) 3) In the History Window click on the Search icon option. 4) In the Search for field enter that web site entry that you have not been able to delete. 5) Click on the Search Now button. 6) After the search has finished you should see a list of web sites (note that they may not exactly match what you entered in the Search for box). 7) Right click on each entry and select the Delete option. 8) Close IE 9) Open Regedit and search on that URL name. 10) Delete all the registry entries you find. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs You should find a number of entries like: url1, url10, url11, .... and so on. continue search the entire registry and delete as required (I only found two locations in the registry) 11) Reopen IE. You should no longer have that ugly URL in the list.

I do know that she knows a lot, and much more than you do. How much somebody knows has very little to do with how many years experience he or she has. I've seen *many* people with so-called 20 years experience who in reality had one year of experience repeated 20 times. > "Ken Blake, MVP" <kblake@this.is.am.invalid.domain> wrote in message > news:d817a397aivmrnln5em6k0ks39f5fm6f0u@4ax.com... > > On Sun, 22 Jul 2007 09:57:04 +0100, "Newbie Coder" > > <newbiecoder@spammeplease.com> wrote: > > > > > Kelly, > > > > > > I see you are copying registry keys that other users & I have supplied in > this > > > newsgroup to expand your minimal knowledge > > > > > > > > LOL!

It's like a 9-year-old telling Albert Einstein > he has "minimal knowledge" of physics! Back years ago I used to fix PCs in Princeton, NJ. I was lucky enough to fix a Packard Bell. OMG. On one of the old Albert Einstein desks. I found it really weird that there was an old Packard Bell I had to fix. But, the experience I will always remember, as the current owner of the desk and house used to have Albert over for dinner and talk. Again, Albert never used a PC, but it was sort of time travel to work on the same desk he used to use on weekends when he went for dinner at his buddies house. I feel really lucky at least to sit in the same chair and work on the same desk that he worked on...

Again, > > Albert never used a PC, > > Nope, he died many years before they were invented. Yes I know that he died before the Packard Bell was used. It was just a glory to work on the same desk Albert used to work on. At the time, the current owner of the house/desk where Albert worked had added a PC to his tools. Again, it was a glory to work at the same desk that Albert used when visiting one of his best buddies.
Guest Don Varnau Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Re: clearing internet history Hi, When you ran CCleaner, did you check the "Delete index.dat files" box? Try that. Or download and install IEHistory View from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iehv.html IEHistory View seems to list the index.dat file, not just the History folder. If the URL is listed, you should be able to delete it. Hope this helps, Don [MS MVP- IE] "ishamay" <ishamay@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1EFF54E1-58E5-413C-AC3D-1EAEB2F3E57D@microsoft.com... > ok site shows up when searched for in history i right click go to delete a > window asks me if i really want to delete i push yes site stays put. its no > where in the typed urls in registry i have told you this many times is there > a way to search in regesty like you can do in history? i dont know if this > matters when window comes up asking me if i want to delete e symbol has a red > ! in front of it? >
