I don't know what your computer has on it but should you have and use M$ PowerToys - TweakUI, there is a setting on the Paranoia tab:
Check the "Clear Internet Explorer history at logon" box to cause the Internet Explorer URL history to be erased each time you log on.
This is a per-user setting.
I have my IE 6.0 history set to save my history for 14 days, but everytime I disconnect from the internet they are erased. This just started a few days ago, and up until then I had no problem, they would be saved fine. I've set and re-set the setting, re-booted, signed off and on the inernet then re-set it again and again and again. It just won't save my history files anymore once I disconnect from the internet Anyone have any idea what happened? I didn't add or delete anything, change any other settings, or anything else. I tried to repair IE by going to Start/Control Panel/Add Remove Programs, but IE isn't listed there, which is weird too!
