Allen42 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 CCleaner 2.05.555 IE version 7.0.5730.11 Delete browsing history is checked. If I run CCleaner, the drop down "history" is gone, but if you type a double slash in the URL address bar or start typing a URL, all visited URLS are still there! I have been a CCleaner evangalist for quite some time, but this is a fairly gross issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Is it possible that the list is recently typed URLs rather than all visited URLs? If so, do you have Recently Typed URLs selected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but something else is interesting. Clearing the history within IE doesn't clear these entries either. It appears that these are also entries of the most recent sites visited, and they were visited via links. At least some of them were "opened in new tab".

Hello Allen42, Yes, sometimes it is best to exit IE 7 or those entries are still going to be there until you restart IE 7. davey P.S. Forgot to say some things can't be cleaned by CCleaner while IE 7 is open. It's always best to run maintenance type programs when no other programs are running. CCleaner is a maintenance type program. Edited March 2, 2008 by davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen42 Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hello Allen42,Yes, sometimes it is best to exit IE 7 or those entries are still going to be there until you restart IE 7. Already tried that, too. (Ran CC with IE (and everything except traybar pgms) closed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I find that IEHistoryView from NirSoft permits you to view/delete the IE history events. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iehv.html They have several other useful utilities on that site as well.

davey Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Already tried that, too. (Ran CC with IE (and everything except traybar pgms) closed.) Following YoKenny's link you may also find that some sites plug-in their URL into your Recently Typed URLs. I discovered this in the past using some other tools. I'm making a list and checking it twice like Santa.I am surprised and not so surprised by those doing this.I really don't appreciate them doing this!!! davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrw04 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 TWEAKUI 1.33 automaticaly deletes recently typed urls. under IE tab you must check the "Clear document, run, typed-url history on exit" option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 TWEAKUI 1.33 automaticaly deletes recently typed urls. under IE tab you must check the "Clear document, run, typed-url history on exit" option. Hi cdrw04, TWEAKUI is a neat tool. However,I don't appreciate certain corporate websites leaving their URL in my Recently "Typed" URLs. That is why I want to see what is in there before deleting.I am not sure if it happens when I am browsing or when I execute certain software or when I close certain software. Thanks for the tip, davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
