Bren are you using XP or Vista?

xp brenda xxx

Okay. Go to My computer and open the C drive. Then double click on "Documents & Settings". Then on "Owner", then "Local Settings". You should then see the History Folder. Open this and then open each day and delete the entries.

Have fun.
Blessings,
Lyn

Brenda, it sounds like some of your files & folders are hidden...but sorry, I have forgotten how to unhide them!! Must be getting old!! LOL!!

[Lyn A]

Okay found it!!


To display hidden files and folders

1. Open Folder Options in Control Panel.
   • Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
   • Double-click Folder Options.
2. On the View tab, under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders.

I hope that finds it for you...otherwise, I am sorry, I haven't got a clue.
