IE Address bar browsing history, cookies, auto fill erased automat

[Guest Olde Dad]

Somewhere other than in Internet Explorer>tools>Internet Option, I have

changed one or meor settings for IE. What ever browsing history I develop in

an internet session, passwords used, and cookies picked up in my travels, are

lost when I exit IE

What version of IE?

If IE7, the recommended newsgroup is

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

 

In a proper newsreader:

http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

 

If you must use a web interface:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

 

 

If IE6, try:

http://news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6.browser

Go into the properties and see if your personal data is being cleared

when you close IE.

The properties in IE, of course, where else? Are you running IE6 or 7?

IE-7

When I click on File>Properties I get the properties for the Internet site I

am in, nothing to do with settings.

I don't use IE7 but do not open IE. Right click on the IE icon on your

desk top and go to Properties/Internet Options or whatever is similar to

that and then look under the Advanced tab and see if your IE is

configured to remove private data upon closing IE like temporary

Internet files or cookies.

 

That said, I would recommend that you only use IE for IE specific web

sites and use Firefox for everything else. Get it at

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox.

Open IE.. On your menu bar go to tools/internet options/general/ settings..

 

 

You can then set how long you want itemns saved..
