I would like to clear all address of my browser? I have cleared all internet temp files and folders of my 'C' drive and closed all programs. Defragmented my hard drive and closed down my computer. Then restarted my computer with a reboot disk. I have installed a dbat file. but when my computer restarts and A:\ shows I enter C:\D which is what I thought would clear it up but nothing happens. I have Windows 98 SE. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

And after clean all (include all .tmp), did you use home page in your IE ? (Tools-->Options--> Startup page ) ?

by philthegreat

If you are using IE; then choose "tools"-->internet options-->History-->clear all records.

NetCaptor has a feature: (download the old version; the new version is shareware.)
Tools-->Clear address.

For win95 I use ezcleaner free off the web. For 95 and 98 go to my computer, c:\, windows. Then open cookies, edit,select all hold the left shift key then hit file delete. Do the same for history and temporary internet files. In win98 you can use disk keeper from the start menu.

With your browser open go to Tools
drag down to Internet Options. Delete your history and your temporary internet files.

in addition clean out your cookies - (which won't clear the browser address bar but will help puter run better)

right click start click explore
the find line - type "cookies"
skip the next line that say ..text etc...
in Search where click the dropdown arrown and select My computer

when it finds it - open the file by double clicking it delete all files except theone that say index.dat - it won't let you delete that one anyway.

Good luck

Go to tucows or zdnet or any other free dload site and find tweakui for win 98.
Download and then install and from your control panel click on tweakui and go into 'paranoia' and click to empty all the parts you want emptied on reboot or log on.
Good luck:)
