Delete the browsing history in IE8 problem - Windows XP.

I tried to remove IE8 browsing history using tools/Internet Options.  I have Windows XP.  He ran for more than 2 hours before I canceled it.  I have not had this problem in the past.  Why does it takes so long and is there a problem with my IE?

Try to close Internet Explorer, then:

Go to start, control panel

Double-click Internet Options.

Delete the browsing history from here

If it runs for a long period of time, try to restart your computer and do the steps above before you open Internet Explorer.

Let me know if it works. I have more options, just try it first. Do not download not the cleaners registry or things. Usually, they cause more problems then they solve.

    Delete cookies will cause sites to lose some information about you.
    Cookies are often used to record your logged in status and so deleting cookies can connect out of the sessions on a website. Deleting cookies can also mean that you must identify you again on sites that use cookies to remember you connected initially and want to stay connected or to be connected automatically to a later session

    You can use Firefox to store the connection information in the Manager password, possibly protected by a master password, these are not cookies and remain after deletion of cookies

  • How can I delete the browsing history but keep bank account numbers etc.

    My financial institution recommends to delete my browsing history after that I have signed. I can do this without removing the bank account numbers etc. I don't understand the descriptions of cache, cookies, etc.

    I guess you want to keep your cookies but not your history. You can select what is removed when you close Firefox in Options > privacy > select "use the custom settings for history". Once you have finished, click on 'Settings' in front "Clear history of Firefox closing" and uncheck the box 'Cookies' and 'Site Préférences'.

    Original title: on windows vista why do Internet sites I have vista does not delete when I turn off my computer

    The sites I visit does not delete when I I shut down my computer using Windows vista either on google or yahoo sites?

    Hi MistressCindy,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and we are happy to help you.

    I understand from the description you want the navigation history to delete on shutdown.

    Could you answer a few questions to understand the question:

    1. what web browser do you use?

    2. what version of Internet Explorer you are using?

    I suggest trying these methods in Internet Explorer and check.

    (a) open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button, and then click Internet Explorer.

    (b) click on the Tools button, then Internet Options.

    c) under the history of navigation in general tab make sure that Remove navigation to exit history is enabled.

    (d) click on the tab to remove, put check marks in the boxes for history, downloaded and click on delete.

    It will be useful. For any Windows questions do not hesitate to get back to us.

     

  • Deleting the browser history

    When you use IE, how can I get all of my browsing history deleted?  I know how to delete the history on the tab "Tools", (story/Explorer/general tools/internet/delete tabbed browsing) and I do it, but when I go back to my browser and click on the drop down arrow, it's still there.  Hundreds of sites I have visited.  Does it only on my account, not on other users of this computer, and I am the administrator.

    A nice man responded to this post and suggested that I have download ccleaner.  I checked the site for download, but you have to pay for it, and I have no income at this time.

    Someone at - it any other suggestions for me?

    What browser? If IE go to Tools / Internet options / general tab. Or the easiest way get ccleaner. Install and then start, close the browsers, go to the vacuum cleaner, then click on run cleaner.

  • Top sites and the browser history

    Hi, I'm on a Macbook Pro 2011 running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, with several people using my login information. My question is - I have a site on my Top Sites, but when I look in the browser history I don't see. This means that the browser history was deleted? And if it appears in the Top Sites does this mean it has been visited frequently or not necessarily? Thanks v. much.

    Not necessarily. It is possible to add a site to the Top Sites with the add a bookmark function (inadvertently).

    Hello

    There are two Add-ons you can use with Firefox Mobile to clear your history (Cleary and erase the historical Mobile).

    If you press the menu button on the device and select Add-ons, you can search for and install an add-on. Then click on Preferences in the menu and scroll to the bottom to see the button clear history.

  • Had to install XP Pro in one folder other than the Windows folder. Can I delete the new folder without causing problems?

    I was cleaning some ad/bad/spyware on the computer of a friend. It runs XP Media Center 2005. When I restarted it, it wanted a password. He put never, ever. The only work around was to reinstall XP without deleting any of his files (more than 8000 music files) because it is not anything save. I put the new XP in a different folder, I named. After searching around, all of his stuff is there and I can access, but this new folder is take a LOT of resources/mem. There is almost nothing in this record, I can delete the new folder without compromising each other, installation? I think I would need to get rid of mode safe mode with command prompt. I did it so many times, but it's never happened to me. Help!

    Once you get the drive installed, simply use xcopy or Robocopy to copy the files, with a fairly large music 8000 drop these command-line utility will be faster than to try to copy them through the Windows Explorer GUI.  Xcopy is integrated with Windows XP, Robocopy is available for download from Microsoft.

  • Delete the historical history of Desktop Background

    Hello friends, what is happening is that I decided to put a wallpaper in my Windows 7, not long after that I liked, so I decided to remove it, I removed, but unfortunately stuck the names of folders in list Dropdown wallpapers wallpapers, if I could help I would be grateful, GREETINGS

    PD: I leave this capture for them to see who I mean

    Hello Fercheins,

    To remove the default background, history of places is via the registry. This will restore the historic sites in the list by default .

    * Close all windows customization *.

    • Click Start
    • Type regedit into the search box of the start menu
    • Click regedit in the above results
    If UAC prompt, click OK
    • In the left pane, navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpapers\Images
    • In the right pane, delete all keys other than default
    • Close regedit

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
