Re: Internet Explorer -- cannot delete browsing history


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.
