...going to dirty sites that you can't delete :)

[SlowBoat407]

For one thing, you're deleting Free Republic!

Seriously, you may still have some data in your cache. I believe there's an option for clearing out the cache as well, and perhaps someone with more experience in IE than I have can lead you to it.

[deepFR]

Did you close browser and restart? If not, try this.

[The G Man]

Try this:

Start - Settings - Taskbar and Start Menu - Start Menu Items - Clear

[Paleo Conservative]

You need to delete the history.

...by the way, I was just giving you a hard time!

FreeRepublic will not be ignored. Resistance is futile.

[isom35]

use mozilla firefox.

[thebaron512]

Recommend moving to Firefox and get some spyware removal software to reduce problems anyhow, since IE can cause more problems in the long run.

[Paleo Conservative]

I wish it were possible for anyone who has Administrator privileges to delete the history, cache, and cookies for all the users of all the computers on a network.

Do yourself a favor. Get Firefox and dump Internet Exploder. If you insist on using Exploder: Go to Tools|Internet Options|Content. Click the Autocomplete button and have-at-it.

Are you logged in? (somebody had to say it:)

[MJY1288]

"Total Cleaner" is good for clearing out your IE5 cache'd files and your internet history. But get a spyware removal tool and then never use IE again, MOZILLA FIREFOX

Go to TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS and click on the "ADVANCED" tab. Scroll about halfway down and uncheck the box that reads: Use inline AutoComplete. Then, scroll to the bottom and check the box that reads: Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed. Click "apply" and then "OK". You're good to go.

[StJacques]

Forget everyone who tells you to get Firefox. They just want to keep the keys to data access out of the hands of consumers while calling it "economic democracy." If you're a consumer Microsoft loves you.

And you were given the solution in post #2.

I am assuming you stopped the sharing feature with Microsucks that comes with your computer.

Go to disk cleanup. Use it. Before that, as others have said, go to tools. Then options, then clear everything from there.

Do cleanup and then defrag. End of problem. Get a sweeper program as well if you want to be perfect. Spy Sweeper is OK but you can search c-net if you want something different.

I like Zone Alarm as well but some folks can't seem to configure it. That's because they are stupid. Do all this and you should be good to go.

If not, nuke your damn drive and start over using the above info.

Arioch7 out!
