Re: Internet Explorer Freezes

I thought this problem was fixed but it works okay until the next time that I
startup again... IE is looking for the history file in the incorrect location:
C:\Documents and Settings\Eva\Local Settings\History\History.IE5\index.dat

I found the file it wants but I can't move it or create a folder in
history... I'm stuck.

It's actually in the following locations:

C:\Documents and Settings\Eva\Local
Settings\Temp\History\History.IE5\index.dat

Is there a way to make IE look for the file in the correct location so it
works?

Kind regards
