Post by Epyon »

Well as read from the subject, I HATE IE history. I havn't found a way to 100% disable it yet, please tell me how to get rid of history forever!

I think if you put "0" in Days to keep pages in history, on the general tab, it will clear the history every time you close IE.

Putting 0 In days to keep history will keep history for that day only. It won't clear it until the next day. Every time you open ie you will still see the history for that day.

Wow, I'm sure this topic has a hidden agenda that either has to do with porn, or goats (or maybe a combination of both :eek: ). :p

Well it may involve sweeping the tracks of certain adult oriented websites accessed, although I'm trying to get it to not even keep 1 day. Isn't there always a hidden agenda? :o

When my boys were wee people, they used to watch the show.
I came across the picture somewhere, saved it, and decided to use it as an AV until I can think of something better. :p

Horny little guy, isn't he?

Hey Blebs.

Croc.

Ontopic: You can get a little copy/paste into Notepad that will clear all those history things that you fear so much. By doing this it will clear all those at boot.

Or simply get a little program called BearDelete.
The problem with these is they use the deltree command.

The simple paste job will do it every time. BearDelete does it from the program list entry.

If you want the link, I will find it and post it.

A cool little Program called TWEAKUI will clean out the History every time you reboot.

Keeps my "goat" data safe from prying eyes.

How far must the insertion be before we notice it? When is it to late?
