IE8 browsing history

[Bob Kolada]

I made the somewhat questionable mistake of letting my brother and his friend use my computer. They didn't do anything wrong.

What they did do was check out a bunch of popular websites including facebook. Whatever. But now when I try to get to tubenet (saved as a favorite) I keep getting facebook as one of the options. I tried "control shift delete" but that doesn't seem to delete browing history anymore. Anyone got any ideas?
It's not so much the mild inconvenience of typing 2 or 3 letters as not being able to do something that used to work fine. Life....

That's exactly what I've tried. BUT, it doesn't work....

It did work with IE7....

Do you have Vista or XP or ? (not sure if it matters). All I have to do to delete the history in IE8 is to go to Tools > Internet Options, click delete for browsing history on the general tab and then click delete again in the next window. All gone. Works on every computer I've tried it on....

Vista!

That doesn't work either. Stupid computers...

If all else fails just download and reinstall the browser

Problem solved- I deleted IE and now just use Firefox.



Thanks for the help guys!!
