The user's history folder (the one with the sun dial) in the users profiles are getting very big, some are over 3MB.

Anyone know how to clear the contents of these folders. I have set IE to keep 0 days of history and can remove previous days from the history, but the today item stays and there appear to be hidden items in the folder.

Many Thanks
 
Hi there,

this is what I do,

open explorer on the server and move to c:\documents and settings\. Do a search on "t.ie5", when finished searching delete all folders except the default users folder. You will get an anoying message about the files being a system file / folder, trust me this will cause no issues. If you dont believe me try it on one users first. When the log back in, the file / folder are automatically created.
