if you don't save settings on exit all history will be lost. Also see here www.zabkat.com/blog/browsing-history-privacy.htm

the minimum setting for history items is 2, but that will also affect how many items you see while the program is running. The decision is yours!

no

ps. you can setup a macro that browses C:\ 30 times then calls the program exit command. Effectively this will flush the history (fill it with C:) my bad, this isn't going to work

my recommendation is to use CLEAR HISTORY button from settings (did you read the blog article mentioned above?) then untick "save settings on exit". Note that many settings are saved even when you "don't save settings", e.g. if you change any bookmarks or other global attributes, these are always saved

2 is the minimum you can have
the extra items appearing in some boxes consider default filters (the dialog you show), or bookmarks in the addressbar

[4.1.0.1] 18 Oct 18 ----------------

* If history items # is set to the smallest allowable value of 2 (TOOLS > OPTIONS menu, General property page), then no history will be saved on exit. This includes addressbar paths and general history items like phrases searched for, but it does not affect bookmarks and other global lists.

Excuse me,and it work for this request??
Because it does not work for me....
