I can't think of any reason for this. It looks like you
are doing all possible steps in order to wipe the browser
history.

Try this: Start->Settings->Taskbar & Start Menu->Start Menu programs
and click on the 'Clear' button in the 'Documents menu' box.
This should clear your browser history. You may need to close all
browser windows and re-open them to see the effect.

Another thing to check out is the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article
titled 'History Items Remain After Being Deleted from Cache' at:

I find this a very interesting way of working. I would prefer
to have an infinite history so that I can keep track of the
URLs I visit.

On Win98 IE stores them in the \Windows\History folder. The
exact folder name may vary based on the version of Windows.

You will have to look in the StarOffice documentation to
see how it handles URLs. I don't have the package and there
was very little information online on configuring its 
Internet settings to have no history.

It has been released but it not free. You can read the
details at:

I don't have Netscape 7 but this seems like an error in some
configuration. It surely can't be the mode of operation.
Details about bugs with the mail component in NS7 are at:
http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/ns7/relnotes/7.html#mail
and they don't include any indication of this error.
