I set 7 days in ie7/tools/options//general/settings keep web pages in history but it seems to keep the web pages visited history for ever unless I delete manually. As far as I know I have the latest version as the "check for updates automatically" is checked.

Not exactly what I was looking for as I can always delete them manually - I was wondering if this is a bug of IE7 or am I missing some setup

The same thing happens for me, I'm assuming it's a glitch. Usually I just press the delete button under browsing history in the internet options.
