I did a little messing around with the files for Opera [version 6, haven't tried any others] and there is indeed a file similar to MSIE5x that keeps a log of every link you've ever visited, even if you clear out all the cache/cookies.

But there's a very simple solution:

When you're done using the browser, simply close out of it and find the file "vlink4.dat"

Change the extension to .txt ("vlink4.txt")
Open that up and you'll see the entire list of your visited links. All you have to do then is clear out the list, save the text file, and then change the extension back to .dat.

That's all there is to it.

voidmain:
Why don't you just hold the "Shift" key down, then right click on the vlink4.dat file and open with "notepad" (then check the box to always use notepad to open files of *.dat type).  Save you some renaming...  Better yet, put this command in your autoexec.bat "copy nul c:\pathtoopera\vlink4.dat".  Since you are running Windows it means you probably reboot often and this file will get zeroed out every time you reboot. But what do I know, I'm not a Windows user.

Not every user knows how to do that, so I explained it in a way anyone could do.  ;)

Thanks for the extra tip, though.

voidmain:
I guess that's why Windows users are so stupid. Nobody teaches them any new tricks.  Reread my note, I added another tip so you don't have to do anything and it will get wiped out all by itself.

panophobia:
That's nice, now fuck off and stop acting like an asswipe. Just go back to your linux and let people who might actually need this to find use in it.

If you don't need it, then shut up and stop bitching about it.

kthx lar.
