hi there.. this looks like a really good sight. Ive tried looking for the answer to my question i have and no luck. But i have windows vista basic with internet explorer. not sure if there are diff. explorers. this is my problem, i open my browser and in the search space at the top, i open it up and history and my favorites pop up. Well i clean my histiry all the time and one certain website will not come off my history. 5 or 6 are shown and hit the lil arrow all the way to the right and opens the history up to (((19))) of the same site with different words at the end. ive tried everything from my ccleaner with registry cleaner and everything. I keep hearing about regedit under mru, or mru bags. im not really to sure. i found a couple tabs with mru under the name, but dont want to delete important stuff….PLease help!

I haven’t got a chance to try out these tricks on Windows 7 but you could try them as many tricks for Vista also work in Windows 7

How about for Windows 7? It doesn’t have the “Remember each folders view settings” option.

Hi Stan,
thanks for visiting Web Talk!
Here is a solution which may work for your Vista 64 bit:

1.Click Start.
2. Type regedit in the Start Search box and hit Enter and open regedit.
3. Locate this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell
4. In the left pane, right click on Bags and delete it.
5. Again in the left pane, right click on BagMRU, and delete it.
6. Navigate to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell
7. In the left pane right click BagMRU and click delete it.
8. In the left pane, right click Bags and click on delete
9. Navigate to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam
