Deleting X2 History (Paths, Filters, Search Terms, etc.)
Posted: 2015 Feb 28, 09:55
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to delete my x2 history, e.g. paths, search terms, filters, etc. x2 keeps this info in the Windows registry. It is not a straight-forward process to delete it.
I found that this registry script works for me. I offer it with the following instructions and disclaimers:
1) Use the script at your own risk, and only if you know what you are doing. Modifying the Window registry always carries a risk.
2) Back-up your Windows registry first.
3) The script only deletes the history for the Current User.
4) The script must be run as an administrator.
5) Create a text file with a ".reg" extension, for example, "WipeXplorer2History.reg".
6) Copy the following lines of text into the text file.
7) Close x2 or it will restore the history that you are trying to delete.
8) Pray to local deity.
9) Execute the reg file.
Best of luck.
