Delete Drop Down Menu History From IE problem

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hi,
These URLs you're seeing are in the index.dat file in the History folder.

CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ should be able to clear the History
and the index.dat file. Just check the appropriate boxes and run it.

Or, Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/f [...] eraser.htm will delete the
History folder (and the index.dat file) and a new one will be created when
you restart.
Or the History folder can be deleted manually:

Hope this helps,
