In Windows XP there was an option off the task bar properties to clear all recently accessed webpages, recent file lists, ie. cache, temp files and so on; is there an equivalent for Windows 7?
How do I clear the cache / history in Windows 7?

- Right-click on the taskbar or the Windows Orb.
- Open "Properties".
- On the "Start Menu" tab, click on "Customize...".
- In the "Customize Start Menu" windows, check the checkbox "Recent Items".
- Click OK twice to close the 2 open windows.
- In the Start Menu, you have now a "Recent Items" entry.
If you right-click it, you have a menu option "Clear recent items list".

1this only clears this list and not things like the search bar autocomplete on explorer (which even clearing ie doesnt clear) – None – 2009-10-29T22:05:45.130
this is not by default in XP, you probably installed a program that added this feature. – Snark – 2009-10-29T21:28:25.613

So the Delete Browsing History settings in IE don't work? – Sim – 2009-10-30T01:15:55.010
