This is kind of embarrasing, but I need a bit of help $...

Errrr....Sorry..... my bad!!!


I didnt say it correct...
Dont make a new key..go to URL history Right click in the right panel, chose new>binary value, name it to 'DaysToKeep' and put the value of 14(hexadecimal).

Sorry for the confussion



And Rob I am still confused....

 

Yep. FF is trash and I refuse to use it. IE7 Beta2 works perfect.
But, I dont want to turn this into a ff vs ie pissing match. Just trying to get this issue fixed before it drives me to suicide. =X

 

I wouldn't say that FF is trash, and as a matter of fact I use FF more than I use IE (mostly on linux)

When I am using Windows, I switch off between both. For those who have not tried the IE7 beta, I would suggest that maybe they give it a shot. It seems to me to be SIGNIFICANTLY faster than the previous version, and it also seems to be faster than FF on my particular setup. I don't know if all my extensions are maybe slowing FF down, but that's something else that maybe I'd need to experiment with.

Sorry to go offtopic, but I'm guessing the last solution that webmaster gave should solve your issue...

 

Still didnt work. I restarted windows and the history was gone again. =\

 

Shouldn't it probably be a dword value?

 

OK, I deleted it and made it a dword.
Let me restart and see what happens...

 

You are not doing it right..you are still creating a key

dont creat a key



right click in the URL history panel..choose a new Dword value..and put the value as 14, base hexadecimal.
And you are creating value in Cache>History, when you should create it under internet settings>URL History

 

Thats what I did a sec ago, then restarted, BOOM my history is gone again.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH HELP ME

 

I dont have a URL History, atleast I dont see it

 

I think thats the problem, I dont have a "url history" folder at all.

 

Did you check to see if this key was in place, so the urls would have someplace to be stored?

 

OK, I just created the location url history, and then added the dword thing inside there.
Lets see what happens, let me restart!

 

Theres a file in that location, but it says "value not set" under the "data" area

and it's type is a REG_SZ file

 

Do one thing download the attched txt file rename it from regi.txt to regi.reg and run it choose to import the value into registery..

alternatively you can create a new TXT file, copy the lines given below and paste it in the txt file.
save it as *.reg file and double click it chose the import the value to the registery....

Maybe the program starts on starup and erases all the history and cache and stored link.

Check if the program is still working and check if it has been properly unstalled.
