Right, sorry. It is XP home SP1.
I always delete from IE, and choose "delete all off line content"
I also run Window Washer.
After both of these and a reboot, CC still shows the files (but the IE5 folder shows empty, as accessed from Explorer. Also the Settings > View files in IE tools shows empty except for the one cookie I keep).
I got cc because WW and IE don't always delete my history. My Systemworks 2002 cleaner always did, but I had to uninstall all of SW to get NAV 2006 installed, and I have misplaced the SW disk for now.
Anyway, I haven't actually tested CC sticky History entries, but this listing of files that I can't find elsewhere seems strange.
Thanks very much. --JWD
