Solve : Win 98 History stopped working?

Answer»

My IE6 History recently stopped recording new pages visited.

Previous History is still OK going back 38 weeks, and it still makes folders for the current day; but no URLs are recorded there.

I presume the Histry cache-size must've been exceeded, and tried CHANGING registry settings to increase it.
I found three registry entries relating to History cache size, and increased all of them; but it had no effect.

I'm using Windows 98 Second Edition.



Have you tried changing some things in the Internet Option?Yes I have.
However there does not appear to be a way to change the History cache size; only the TEMPORARY internet files cache size (which is not relevant to my problem).Is there a paticular reason you want to keep history files that old? I think the default setting is 7 day's but I have mine set a 2. I would lower the day's stored, clean out the folder and see what happen's then. Try REMOVING those recent files and try to use the default setting 7 and see if that new ADDRESS will be stored on your history.I don't want to remove the files or clear the history.

I would like to preserve a full record of URL's for as LONG as possible, as I find it very useful at times. E.g. If a file on my hard-drive gets corrupted, I can use Internet History Explorer to find out where I originally downloaded it from, and replace it. Has saved my bacon several times!

Accordingly I have set my History to 999 days.
