Question

I was using the following script to delete the browsing history in IE 7.0

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255 

But now I need a script to clear browsing history in IE 6.0

I get an error that ‘missing entry ClearMyTracksByProcess’ I have passed different parameters like 2 ,5 etc and wasn’t successful.
