Deleting IE browser history "Cooter" <cooter[ at ]yahoo.com> 6/16/2007 2:57:28 PM Prior to leaving Internet Explorer (v7) I always go through the procedure to delete browser history, clicking the "Delete All" button. Recently I find that temporary internet files are not being deleted - don't know about the other stuff. Virus and spyware checks show nothing along that line. Now I have to use a third-party utility (System Mechanic) to clean up. Any idea why IE stopped cleaning up after itself? Thanks for any help.

Try accessing Internet Options from Control Panel- with no Internet Explorer windows open. You may have to shutdown e-mail and or messaging programs- some of them use the TIF folder. See: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/deltifonexit.htm for more information. Configuring CCleaner www.ccleaner.com to run at startup before other programs are opened might be a solution. - - Hope this helps, Don [MS MVP- IE] "Cooter" <cooter[ at ]yahoo.com> wrote in message news:4673faa1$0$9011$4c368faf[ at ]roadrunner.com...
