Internet History

My browser sometimes doesn't clear the history or temperory files. I tried clearing it many times but still, the history and files remains. I have XP and SP2

I assume you tried...
tools/internet options
delete cookies
delete files
clear history

If that doesn't work than you can do this
1. Start regedit.exe.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs.
3. Delete the URL entries you want to remove--except the (Default) value; it should remain in the list.
4. Close regedit.

DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO or you'll screw up your computer.

After you clean out your history d/l a real browser. May I suggest FireFox .

Hello bananaboie

Try using Cleanup!

The Temp folders should be cleaned out periodically as installation programs and hijack programs leave a lot of junk there. Download CleanUp! ( Alternate Link if main link don't work) and install it. Run CleanUp! and click on CleanUp! button. When it asks you if you want to logoff, click on Yes.
