    How to stop browser history automatically deleting when I close the browser?


    I recently selected an option on my browser so that history is automatically deleted once I close the window, but I've found that it's done more harm than good


    I've already looked at internet options > general > deselect 'delete browser history on exit', but my history is still being deleted.


    What should I do?

    :)

  2. deleting browser history

    I solved this issue on my Samsung Focus by closing out all the tabs in IE and then deleting your history.

    When you open IE on your WP7, there are three icons at the bottom of the screen- Add, Favorites, and Tabs. If you have multiple tabs open then a number will be displayed inside the Tabs icon indicating how many tabs are currently open on your browser.
    Click the Tabs icon and a list will pop up showing you all the tabs that are open. There you have the option to close out the tabs by pressing the X. I'm not sure if it's necessary, but then you can go ahead and delete your history as well. I also had "Allow
    cookies on my phone" and "Let Bing suggest sites as I type" unchecked, although I'm not entirely sure that mattered.

    Hope this helps!

  3. deleting browser history

    Hello,

    Thanks for your feedback. This misbehavior has been reported to MS. Another user was able to delete the history completely after using the browser till the point where the affected website was pushed off the list by other websites.

    Best Regards
