I regularly delete my history and temporary internet files through Internet Explorer (Tools, Internet Options, Clear History + Delete Files).

Some time ago while using Version 5.0 with Windows 98 Second edition, I did this, and found that all my history deleted OK except for the current day - "Today".

I have tried many times over a period of about 3-6 months, but still cannot delete "Todays" history. I only lose this history when the PC starts the next day with a brand new "Todays" history.

I have tried upgrading to version 5.5, and returning to previous versions without sucess.

I have also manually in Dos deleted the 'history' and 'tempor~1' folders with 'Deltree' thinking they may be corrupt. They delete OK, but when next in Internet Explorer I have the problem again.

I think this all started when the PC froze while deleting the history in Internet Explorer. Could this be a registry problem?

I do not have this problem with several other PC's.
Any ideas?

Dobs.
