Should there be a 'clear history command' to clear the history without editing wincmd.ini by hand?

Yes, it would be very useful.

No, I'm glad that TC always remembers my commands etc.

By reading the first post you can find out that there is the purpose to have the TC portable on a USB or to share a well configured Total Commander installation with friends and co-workers.
A good example of public relations. (Better sales, free updates)

I believe your argument is not valid. Face the truth: This problem didn't came up in Win 3.1 but in WinXP or so.
Whats the reason to take care about stoneage-Operating systems ? Do Win 3.1 users take care about Vista/Se7en/Windows8 users?
Do Win 3.1 users buy Total Commander licences ? Do WE really care about the size of Setup-files or executables ? I doubt that.

All these false Considerations are resulting in a situation where the TC becomes unattractive to users with the last OS and "good" hardware.

What is better: Having the Win3.1-users looking for alternative programms or Vista-users who quit to use TC ?

And when I say unattractive, I also mean: Suspicious (because it can be used to spy out the user)

Balderstrom,
You have a sarcasm sign?

@Hacker,
I didn't think it was necessary to ;) wink in this particular case...
I thought the,
and 3 people using Win 3.1 might not be able to run total commander
would be easily detected as sarcasm...

I've just come to this 2004 thread from a search. The Ultra History Cleaner is still going strong, at a different URL: http://utceditors.totalcmd.net/

There are editors for Main Menu, Start Menu, Directory Menu, Extended Commands, Button Bar, History, Configuration, and Hotkeys, and log and version history viewers,
