IE6 Address history lost on restart

[GBall]

Hi,
since upgrading from 5.5 to 6.0 using a cover CD, my address history dropdown gets reset every time I restart the computer.
I've tried clearing the history and changing the number of days to keep it (various values 0 to 21), but to no avail.
The history folder is fine. It's just the dropdown of entered addresses that's the problem.
I tried reinstalling IE6 from the same cover CD and it tells me that the one on my computer is a newer version and refuses to go any further !!
Aaaargh !

Regards,
Graham

Go to Tools on the drop down menu, select Internet Options, At the bottom of the general tab you'll see a setting for the history make sure it isn't set to 0 days.

Tried that - see above.

Maybe the IE history is still saved in a directory corresponding to the 5.5 version. It might be an idea (?) to delete the C:\WINDOWS\History folder, included the hidden files.

No, I don't have that folder.
