Ted, is there an example of how one would go about selectively deleting items
in
IE's history based on URL names using VB.NET?
I'm sorry, but I don't think there are any examples available because what
you want to achieve probably isn't possible. Well, you could in theory
reverse engineer Internet Explorer and see how it manipulates the history
list, but this would both be a violation of the EULA and very difficult.
However, if you are using .NET 2.0 and the WebBrowser control, then you
could build your own web browser with VB.NET that would not let the user see
the history. But even with this solution, I don't think you can *stop* IE
from building up that history list for you.
Hope this gives you food for thought.

jani, thanks for the response. i'm having trouble comprehending that this is
an impossible task. ie's history is available thru windows explorer under
c:\documents and settings\[user name]\local settings\histor y and items can
easily be deleted. for some reason, however, when you use system.io to
navigate that directory it appears empty to .net. there are at least a few
applications out there that delete all history but i'm just not sure how
they're doing it. any ideas? i did find some code to clear IE's cache and
it required several api calls. anyway, i would appreciate any comments. tia!

Greetings,
I can't figure out what to search on to find the documentation on how to
completely delete a "solution" from VS.NET 2003. I have no problem at
all deleting projects, but even if I delete the entire underlying
directory structure, the solutions won't go away.
Anybody know how to do that?

Hi,
I'm trying to clear the TIF on Windows XP programmatically with the
below code.
This code works fine on any folder but the TIF. For some reason the
atEnd() statements always defaults to true and no files are deleted in
the folder.
The peculiarity of this issue is that the files/subfolders cannot be
seen through the windows explorer either. I can only access/delete
them through a command shell.
Any ideas?

I am using Access 2002. WinXP, Template from MS called Orders Mgmt DB.
I have tweaked this DB to work for our small co.

I want to use history.go() to navigate between my previously loaded pages.
I'm looking for a way to trigger a function call when a page is accessed
using history.go(). Is there an event generated?
Is there a method for detecting what page the user came from when a page
is accessed using history.go()?

Hi,
I hope I'm not OT.
I have the following issue:
I want to delete a record from my db with a php script. Let's say I'm auth'd

The problem is if I'm a nasty guy I just write my own form and delete any

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
