History problem?

    Ok,here's the deal.

    Everytime I finish on the net I delete my cookies,temp internet files,and my history.However,despite this,there are still some URLs showing in the address bar (for eg if I reconnect later and begin to type [url]Http://www[/url]. in the address bar then some URLs still show up).

    System Restore is conveniently not working for me,I just keep getting a "System Restore Incomplete" error no matter what restore point I try to use,which is very odd considering I performed a System Restore last night with no problems whatsoever :confused:

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Any help is much appreciated,
    Cheers
    Si

    Turn auto-complete off or manually clear it (or clear it in Tools->Internet Options->Content->Auto Complete).

    Best advise really is to use Firefox browser instead!

    Davmigil's suggestion should've worked IMO but it didn't do nowt :S

    Ciaran,Window Washer is most definately finding the URLs in the registry and tells me it's "washing" them,but it isn't.They're still there,and if I re-boot the prog and try re-washing the same things are being found :S :S :S

    This is messin' with my head

    Any more suggestions?

    Cheers for the help so far,much appreciated.

    Have a look around www.download.com. You should be able to find a demo of some software to properly delete you history.

    Will do mate

    It's weird though,it appears to have disappeared (wahey!) and everything'll look fine.But then I'll open up a new window or summit and it'll magically have re-appeared.

    Cheers for the advice Ciaran

    Fortunatley (for me anyways :D) Window Washer does seem to have cleaned up the problem for good *touches wood*

    Cheers for the info on this nifty piece of kit Ciaran

    And thanks for the advice too TacT,it's all appreciated.
