Yes, as you can see in the bugtracker, that was still a bug and to be expectedOriginally Posted by wk357mag
That's still the same as I wrote...
And there we've got a different result. I'll check if the BrowserCI version that's available to download is up to date
I guess I should have just kept History out instead of re-adding it

Let me say, I wasnt arguing with you, just doing a test and telling you step by step, so you can understand me.
The BrowserCI version, I got from you, you posted a link in the other thread. So I dont know what the version number is.
I was also just trying to find similarities and differences
Hmmm...
Interesting... I went deeper into it... with mixed results. BrowserCI now has (still need to make the download available) another helper window showing the complete IE cache content. This clearly shows that the cache now gets purged (except for very few content currently opened in another window), and I've debugged the return values as well - the IE API returns that those entries were successfully deleted!
There's also a possible cache entry value (0x000010000) that's not even documented in Microsofts Platform SDK, but it doesn't seem to be related with this (but indicates that some changes, probably for IE7, might not be documented).
Sure, we could kill the history index.dat file the hard way probably (if IE is closed etc. - other files are usually attempted to be deleted), but that would make all the exclude options void. Or a custom index.dat file format parser, but that may take time...
Also, while removing index.dat on powering up or down is no problem, doing it during runtime is not "clean" and needs shutdown of ALL associated applications - that means not only Internet Explorer, but also Windows Explorer, any Help file, etc.. There are methods to delete it otherwise, but that would usually be what makes it impossible to get a Certified for Vista thing, to say it carefully. Well, we've given up on that silly certification anyway...

you may not know what the answer to this question is, but how does CrapCleaner do its cleaning. Seems to me to be perfect in this area. I wonder how they clean this with out the problems.

If your going to look at it, I would recommend the OLDER version, as the newer is still beta, VERY beta. BEst to try "1.41.544-Slim"
IE7's internet options, general tab, delete, history also clears the History folder completely, as seen in Windows Explorer.
