Google for evidence eliminator there are others but it's the only one to com e to mind right now. It should be able to clear those out for you.

I also have issues with deleting history in IE. Try deleting any entries from "My Computer" forst, and then deleting the rest. I don't know why this works, but it does for me...

The official Microsoft utility TweakUI has this functionality, I think under the Paranoia tab. For Windows XP, download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp -- for Windows 2000 or earlier, download it from http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/PowerToys/Networking/NTTweakUI.asp.
