Re: history cleaning

Hi,
Windows XP?

First try CCleaner from www.ccleaner.com Check the boxes to clear history
and index.dat files.

Then...
These URLs you're seeing are in the index.dat file in the History folder. To
delete these URLs, you need to delete the index.dat file. It's generally
recommended to delete the History folder, which will also delete it's
index.dat file.

Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/fre...ory-eraser.htm can usually delete
the History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created
when you restart.

Or the History folder can be deleted manually.
The procedure [Windows XP]
Login as another user with administrator privileges, or from the machine's
default administrator account (startup in safe mode.) Make sure that you can
see hidden and system files (Folder Options> View) then delete the affected
History folder from Windows Explorer. It will be at [C:\Documents and
Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\History] Restart the computer.

Hope this helps,
