Are there any other things I can be trying as well? If I can get together a list of things to try then that increases my chances of solving the problem the next time I use their computer. I'm planning on trying tonight before the present is revealed!

One person I spoke to said it may have something to do with 'autofill'. What did that mean?

autofill is a way of remebering the contents of certain forms on a web page eg googe
so when you start typing in google up pops all the history of what you have searched for.

Thanks, is there anything else I can be trying as well?

How come there are these few websites that keep re-appearing when all the others disappear as they should do?

Any further tips on what I could try would be welcome. Anything that clears data off the computer isn't really an option, it isn't my computer.

Thanks

I haven't had a chance yet, I'm at work and will try it on their computer later tonight.

When I said I was concerned about removing data I meant I didn't want to run the risk of removing personal folders and files by using something like ccleaner. I'd only feel happy about using a program like that if I was totally confident I knew what I was doing.

CCLeaner doesn't get rid of personal folders. I use it every weekends, it never deleted anything I didn't want him to. You can check what you want to be deleted too.

in ie, got to tools-delete browsing history-Form Data!!!

David77 · 04-28-2008, 11:32 PM

Just to let you know, its been sorted...

It can be done by downloading IEHistoryView on this site:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iehv.html

One user stated:

'I have done the http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iehv.html website and downloaded the utility for free and it worked. It took like 2 minutes. All you have to do is download the utility, unzip it to a folder, click on the exe file, check the boxes that you want to delete and then delete them with the X at the top. It works very well.'

I thought 'It can't be that easy' and guessed it was probably an advert or someone with a vested interest in it but no, it DID work that quickly!!
