Default Int Explorer ?

How do I clear the previously visited web addresses?

Before I have clicked clear history in internet properties and this works but still leaves a few there.

Thanks for any advise.

Why would you want to clear the websites you visited?

Anyway, anyone help here?

After you click clear history, also clear files.

That should clear 'em.

However some sites (lol) add themselves to your favourites. Just right click and delete.

C:\Documents and Settings\yourloginname\Local Settings

Run a spyware detector and virus checker. You don't say what the links are, but it sounds like something might be putting them back even after you've removed them...

It does clear most of them but there are some for weightwatchers which are really long and just wont disappear.

depending on the **** and the attitude of your woman, it may be best to accidently destroy the pc in a random accident.

such as, "yes darling I was washing the pc in the bath to get it nice and clean for you and it suddenly stopped working"
