The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

You can do this manually...

Or you can use PurgeIE.  PurgeIE goes through and clears what you select.  You can even select what it clears for a certain time frame or period.  I recommend that to those who want to clear history... and I believe it works well with IE7.  It just automates what they are explaining to do in the above posts.
Basically, once you have it set up to delete what you want, you just open the program and click the purgeie button... it erases everything you told it to previously.  Everytime you open the program, those defaults are saved that you set.  Of course, you can change the defaults whenever you want to.

If interested, you can get it at www.tucows.com
here is a direct link: http://www.tucows.com/preview/195411

I believe you get 15 days of trial.  I liked the program enough, I paid the $20 for the life time license.
