Were you able to understand even with my few typos? <g> Don't make typos in
a DOS command; it may actually recognize it and proceed (rare, but it could
happen if one were unlucky enough). <g>

OK, typo corrections follow: (have asterisks *)
~~~~~~~~~~~
All you need do is this (with W98se for instance):
Start>shutdown>restart in ms-dos>wait until mouse is recognized *and* PC
shows
the prompt. The Prompt then appears thusly C:\Windows>

Then type Deltree History (Note: there is a space between Deltree and
History)
press enter
prompt asks for confirmation (y/n)
type y (for yes)
press enter

 Prompt appears after confirming deletion.
*Hit* Ctrl-Alt-Del and the PC will re-boot. History folder should be empty
and
clear.

If you like you can follow the same exact procedure to clear all cookies (if
that's what you want) and also to start with a virgin Temporary Internet
File folder and a virgin 32 KB Index.dat *file* which is intrinsic to that
folder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There...all fixed. (heh-heh)
