February 8, 200521 yr Trying to figure out an automated way (using batch/vbs) to clear IE's history... Ive tried "del "C:\Documents and Settings\tgraffam\Local Settings\History\*" but got an error saying it cant find it...Also, does anyone happen to know if this also clears out what IE saves in fields (ie Search engine input fields) as well? If not.. what needs to be done to clear this out as well?Thanks!!
