Internet Explorer -- cannot delete browsing history

[Guest peter spaeth]

I cannot delete my browsing history -- I go through the usual steps to

delete it and it is still there even after a restart. I have the

feeling it isn't deleting temporary internet files either. Thanks for

any help.

Re: Internet Explorer -- cannot delete browsing history

 

As to your Temporary Internet Files, try moving the "Temporary Internet

Files" folder to a different location, and then move it back to the default

location. If you need to know the default location, post back as to your

Operating System. This will essentially create new Temporary Internet Files

folder.

 

To do this, go to IE7 > Tools > Internet Options. On the General tab, click

on Settings, under "Browsing history". Then click on Move Folder...

Hi,

This problem can occur if another program is using / has a lock on the TIF

folder (cache) or History. First try starting IE without add-ons

(right-click the desktop icon.) Will History and TIF clear with add-ons

disabled?

 

Next try starting up in Safe Mode then clearing History and TIF

Next you may have to disable individual programs to determine which is

causing the problem.

 

Hope this helps,

See: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/deltifonexit.htm for some of the programs

which can cause this problem.

You can try 'One Click Privacy'

(http://www.oneclickprivacy.com/web_security/surf_secure.htm). It will

delete all your browsing history, Computer history and many other

evidences, all at one click. A good privacy software I found and used.

Its your turn now.

You can work around this using Control Panel >> Internet Options

--

IE7 Delete Browsing History stops working after updates to ZoneLabs

ZoneAlarm Pro

 

Here's the fix:

 

- Boot into Safe Mode

- Windows explorer to C:\Windows\Internet Logs

- Search for *.LDA;*.RDB;*.TMP

- Move all that are found to a different folder

- I created and used C:\OldZAPFiles\

- This is for failsafe: you can delete them

- If you delete them then empty recycle bin

- Restart your system
