I have found enough information is given for clearing the history and changing the proxy server settings using command prompt. But I am unable to find out the command prompt statement to change the IE 7 to offline mode. Thanks for any help. Hi,

I googled something, closed IE7 and ran a .BAT file containing all the commands you listed. When I reopened IE7 and searched Google using the same terms, the results showed links I had previously clicked on, coloured purple, which indicates that all history was not deleted. When you run "Delete All" from IE7 and revisit the Google terms you searched for, the results show links in blue, indicating that your search history was deleted from the previous session. Anyone knows how to correct this problem? Anyone know what the missing command line is that would delete previous Google searches? Better yet, does anyone know how to run "Delete All" automatically, like Firefox's "Clear Private Data", which deletes all session history simply by closing the browser?
