ok web people, sometimes Internet Explorer loses track of threads I've read and my red links go blue (purple, whatever... had to get Dr. Seuss in there somehow). Is this a browser thing or a DT thing?

Always wondered, because it's annoying as hell when it happens.

You know, when I'm not doing the porn thing.

OK! DT'ers, here is something that I came up with that will rid your PC of all dodginess forever! I found these tricks during my IT degree and I'm sure you'll agree that they are a god send.

Firstly, create a .reg (windows registry file) and place it in your Start Menu->Startup folder and enter the following:

REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1935655697-2146370111-854245398-500\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RecentDocs]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StreamMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Map Network Drive MRU]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComputerDescriptions]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\

This gets rid of the various address menu items that can get you in too much trouble. Next, if you're running a WinNT PC, create a file named privacy.cmd, or something similar.cmd and place it in your Windows(or WinNT)->System32->Group Policy folder and enter the following text:

@echo off

E:\

rd /s/q E:\windows\tempor~1

rd /s/q E:\windows\cookies
rd /s/q E:\windows\history
rd /s/q E:\windows\temp
md E:\windows\temp

cd E:\docume~1\All Us~1
rd /s/q cookies

rd /s/q locals~1\history

rd /s/q recent
md recent

rd /s/q temp
md temp

cd E:\docume~1\Your User Area

rd /s/q cookies

rd /s/q locals~1\history

rd /s/q recent

md recent

rd /s/q temp

md temp

You may need to replace some of these lines with lines that fit your system. You will also need to replace "Your User Area" with... well.. the name of your user area. Then go to "Start->Find" and enter the search criteria "gpedit.msc" (group policy editor) run the resulting application and go to "Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)->Startup" and add the privacy.cmd program to the Startup properties dialogue. This will delete the index files and cookies, which are impossible to delete when Windows is running and are impossible to find in DOS mode. It works because Windows runs this script during the point when Windows runs DOS executables.

I hope this helps you on your quest to Internet seediness.

Regards.

Steve.

wow, that's a really crazy, complicated procedure there, Steve. Thanks, I guess, but will that even solve the problem?

you might check your explorer preferences...under appearance then color.

lol, am I really being that obtuse? I'm talking about the way links change color after you've visited them. I use that cue to know which threads I've read. Sometimes, however, IE seems to forget where I've been, and they all go back to blue (unvisited) from red (visited)... sometimes without even closing and opening the browser... just going back to the page can do it.

It's not that big a deal, but it would be cool if someone knew exactly why this occurs.

man, like pullin' teeth
