Quick Opera question's

How do you delete the history files in opera and how do you decrease the 'time' they are listed ie to only 5 days or so?

What do you mean by 'history files'? Do you mean the browser's cache of web pages and graphics files, or do you mean the 'History' window contents?

Either way, you cannot modify how long they keep a memory of visited pages - the cache stores a file until the space used is needed for a newer file, and the History window seems to have a fixed 'memory length' as it were.

History window content.

mmm, I see why you're asking. Mine shows all the pages I've been to since installing the OS back in June!

I've done a bit of poking around with RMRText, and it seems that the history is stored in C:\System\Apps\Opera\Global.dat. It is safe to just delete this file to clear the history; the file is re-written if it does not exist when Opera is closed. Haven't found a way to control its length though..

Thanks. why does it put this file on the C: when the actual application is installed on D:, a number of the files appear to be the same on both C: and D:? IT worked but was curious thats all?
