I had similar issues with ie history, it turned out it was a setting on
McAfee virus scanning options and I had to turn a setting off.....The
symptons I saw was a loss of histor as well as other history items refusing
to clear when I instigated an clear history in ie....
anyway, this came from McAfee
Open VirusScan console
Select "Pick a task..."
Select "Change my VirusScan settings"
Select "Configure VShield background scanning"
Select "Customise your VShield settings"
Select the "Internet Filter" icon from the icons down the left hand side On
the "Detection" tab, in the 'Applet filters' section, remove the tick next
to "ActiveX Controls".
this may or may not be relevent for your circumstances but thought it worth
mentioning.
