    Do this Click Start > Run.Enter ipconfig /flushdns :) :cool:
    To view the current DNS resolver cache content and the entries preloaded from the Hosts file, go to the command prompt and type

    C:\> ipconfig /displaydns

    Clear History Lists Quote

    So that you can quickly open documents and programs you use frequently, Windows XP keeps history lists. These are most recently used (MRU) lists. Table 2 shows you where in the registry the operating system stores these lists. Sometimes it's useful to clear these history lists so that other people can't see what you've been working on or just to get a fresh start. Clear these lists by removing the keys associated with them. After removing the RecentDocs key, make sure you delete the contents of %USERPROFILE%\Recent, too.

    Search Assistant's history list, shown in Table 2, deserves a bit more information. The key ACMru contains different subkeys, depending on the types of things for which you've searched. For example, if you search for files and folders, you'll see the subkey 5603, and that subkey contains a list of the different search strings. If you search the Internet using Search Assistant, you'll see the subkey 5001. You can remove each subkey individually to clear a specific type of query's history list, or you can remove the key ACMru to clear all of Search Assistant's history lists. The table contains a list of the subkeys that I've found in ACMru.
    Location Subkey
    Internet Explorer address bar HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs
    Run dialog box HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU
    Documents menu HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RecentDocs
    Common dialog boxes HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\LastVisitedMRU
    Search Assistant HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru

    1. -5001. Internet
    2. -5603. Files and folders
    3. -5604. Pictures, music, and video
    4. -5647. Printers, computers, and people
    ;) :cool:

    Hey Rocker :) This is a neat little app that should handle most of your problems. usual cautions: if you don't know what a listed item is, google it and find out what it is (example: I unchecked the "clean Word usage tracks" box because I need to keep that history) and, as always, set a restore point before you fix it. CCleaner though, is usually spot on with it's choices. Another cool product is RegSupreme a nifty registry cleaner. Again, use caution when fixing the suggested errors and set a restore point -- though RegSupreme does make you set a backup file before it fixes things I always set the restore point. Guess I'm a belt AND suspenders kinda guy ;)
