I have Windows XP home edition and was wondering how the history on Run can be removed or cleaned? I tried going into the taskbar advanced tab and clearing it using Recent documents clear list but had no success.  By the way is there any way that the calculator and pre-installed games like Solitarie for ex. can be erased or removed, because I some how have lost those applications. Can I get them back some how?\nThanks for the input, I appreciate it.

i think you go to internet explorer and change the settings to delete history

This program almost certainly will not work at all on XP.  You could try, after installing, right clicking on the .exe file, the one that initiates the program, and choosing Properties, Compatibility, checking Run this Program....and choosing Windows 95.  But in my experience, this only sometimes works.\n\nIt should not however slow your computer or harm it, if it even in fact installs.  And you can always uninstall it.  My advice, if you are going to install it, is to set a Restore Point in System Restore just before you install it, so that you can easily return to your previous state if things don't work out.\n\nBut also, I would advise you to find a different program that does the stuff that you want this old program to do, even if the more modern program does more than you want.....

you could cover all your tracks, if you so wish, with a simple little program i use called CCleaner\n\nYou can download it at ccleaner.com, it's free, and it works really well to get rid of ALL your internet viewing history\n\nFrom the CCleaner Site:\n   "CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :)"

try to download removal program and give it a try.  If not, I guess you can google it, like remove xxxxx program.  If there something you have to watch out, it will usually shows, if not, you should be able to just go and delete it from your machine.  You can also take out the registry following the link.

In WinXP right click on the the task bar, click properties, start menu, customize, under properties click clear list. \nanother good way is to use a spybot or adaware.

Are you sure they are not your files?? Windows XP installs thousands of files. If you selected Windows Repair then all the old files would still be there. \n\nDownload Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware, AVG (Grisoft anti virus) and HijackThis. Run them all. In HijackThis you will find a Misc Tools section run the ADSpy, this looks for alternate data streams, delete any it finds. \n\nAsk a technical forum to look at your HijackThis log file (you will understand this bit once you run HijackThis).

There are also temporary internet files ( allows quicker access to pages you've visited before. )...Also under Tools/Internet Options...Just click on Delete Files.

yes!! whichever site u visit get's stored in the temporary folder.Even when you tell Internet Explorer to delete your History, these pesky entries still remain - but Tracks Eraser Pro will get rid of them in a blink. Another common irritation it fixes is the index.dat bloat. These files (often hidden by Windows) reside in Cookies, History and Internet Explorer’s cache folders. This presents two problems: they can grow quite large and as they increase in size, they tend to be bogged down with unneeded data - making them less efficient. Secondly, snoops can recover the index.dat file and see details such as your History, even though the items don’t show up in the History folder. With a simple click, you will now be able to delete the index.dat files and protect your privacy. If you need more proof of this threat.If u want a powerful tool that can delete all ur history,then i recommend track's eraser.u can download it from-\nhttp://www.softwarepatch.com/software/trackerase.html

Do you have Windows Explorer? If so, just highlight the words in the box that automatically comes up (like in a search box) and hit your delete key. I'm assuming you are talking about the list of "history" words you have typed in a box.

To enable/disable the History viewing. Go to:\n\nTOOLS > PREFERENCES > THEN SEE AT BOTTOM PART OF THAT WINDOW, THERE WILL BE A OPTION CHECKED 'ENABLE A HISTORY LIST IN THE FILE MENU', UNCHECK IT.

Click Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Scroll there to find programs you want to delete. Just remember there is no putting them back unless you have the original program disks. \n\nYou will need to know the program name of the games, etc. If not in this area, go to start, All Programs, find the games for example, under Accessories, right click and delete them.

Try freeware CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com .  It will erase history, cookies, cache, temp files and lots of other assorted garbage.  It's a terrific registry cleaner also.\n\nIt can be set to run in automatic mode on every bootup if you want.
