Can someone help me please. The internet 'history' keeps getting deleted. I've check the tools, Internet options etc and it says to keep history for 20 days, so, I'm not sure why it keeps deleting :confused: When I log on to the PC I have to start everything again! And have lost addresses for some fab sites I have visited over the past few days too icon9.gif

  • Do you use any clean-up programmes such as CCleaner or Windows Washer because they'll delete your IE history/cache?
    :confused:

    Click your Start button, hover your mouse over "All Programmes" then a list should appear.

    You should bookmark(favorites in IE) the sites you wish to keep a record of.

    If others have access to your PC you might not wish them to see where youv've been surfing.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
