Hello Tony,
Haven't tried REGSVR32 URLMON.dll but the following has worked for me. As far as I can figure the answer lies with the Index.dat files within the Windows Temporary Internet, History and Cookies folders. Despite using Internet Options to delete your browsing history these index files still retain info on your browsing activity. Check their properties and you will find the file size is several Mb depending on your activity. Windows won’t let you delete them, the only way it can be done is in real DOS mode.
The usual caveats apply, ALL your cookies and cache files will be deleted.
Use a boot disk to boot to real DOS mode. Change to the C prompt and type the following—–
C
WINDOWS\SMARTDRV
CD WINDOWS
DELTREE/Y HISTORY
DELTREE/Y TEMPOR~1
DELTREE/Y COOKIES
(the BB has interpreted colon backslash as a smilie!)
Each delete may take some time if your files are large. Reboot to Windows and you’ll find these files have been recreated, but now if you check the size of the Index.dat files, they’re only a few Kb. Check Internet Options and you should find that the drop down list of URLs has disappeared. It will of course build up again as you continue browsing. I use this procedure on a regular basis just to clean everything out.
You might like to visit this site before trying anything.

Hope this works for you.

Xacto.
