Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / May 2004ie 5.2 deletion of history and cookies
i've tried to delete my history by doing the following: explorer>preferences>web browser>advanced>clear history>ok however, addresses i have visited still pop up in the address field when i begin to type in a new address. is there something else i need to do? i've tried to delete my history by doing the following: explorer>preferences>receiving files>cookies>selecting all cookies>delete>ok however, if i close and open the preferences window the cookies are still there? is there something else i need to do? can i delete the history and cookies manually? for all i know the cache isn't being empited when i empty it either. is there a way to check the cache or manually empty it? please help. thanks I have the same problem. I got around this by going to download.com and getting a program called CookieMuncher. This program attacks the cookies from places I am unaware of. This method has worked well for me in the past until today. After using the program to delete my cookies, I now cannot access my IE5.2.3 preferences. When I try, I get the system busy color wheel and IE freezes. IE is fine otherwise, but I cannot touch the prefs. I tried deleting IE and reinstalling, but this did not solve the problem. Now I need help to get IE prefs working again. > i've tried to delete my history by doing the following: > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > thanks Go MACINTOSH HD>USERS>yourname>LIBRARY>PREFERENCES> and find: com.apple.internetconfig.plist Delete this file. It will destroy all your cookies, but it will also delete all your IE prefs. If you don't really customize your IE, this is your best shot. It also allowed me to get back my ability to change my prefs (its like a reset button). Hope that helps. > i've tried to delete my history by doing the following: > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > thanks |
