Re: IE 6.0 on XP Not Deleting History

Use notepad, copy this text into a new notepad.

@echo on
cd %homedrive%%homepath%
rd /s/q locals~1\tempor~1
rd /s/q locals~1\temp\tempor~1
rd /s/q cookies
rd /s/q temp\cookies
rd /s/q locals~1\history
rd /s/q locals~1\temp\history
rd /s/q recent
md recent
rd /s/q locals~1\temp
md locals~1\temp

Then save as "cleanxp.cmd" and put it in your start folder in programs. This format works for xp only!

Someone else shared this but I forgot whom, thanx to that person I can pass it along....

(you can rem out lines you don't want, like I save my cookies and delete them with another program that saves a select few, so I started the two lines with cookies with "rem " basically removing them from the process)

Click for full size
thegrinch, I copied the information you posted, but instead of saving as cleanxp.cmd I saved it as clean.bat, also I didn't add it to my startup folder. I just opened Batchrun, and added a few commands, So that I could run the bat. file without rebooting.

This way, I wont have to remember to remove it from the startup folder, and I could add it to my task manger and have it ran once a week, or more depending on when I want it to run.

What I added was, explorer.exe is killed, 1.5 seconds later the clean.bat is ran, 4 seconds later explorer is started, so the files are deleted, and no reboot is required.

It's terrific that you've worked around the startup issue.

Should this also work on Win2K, and would you mind uploading your version (for us coding illiterates)?
