Hi Geoff,
It is odd that Vista and Windows 7 put these files in all sorts of different places, depending on the user and permission levels. Unfortunately we can't just put that somewhere static as it always has to be in a 'virtual folder' tied to a user name for the new OS security levels.
It would indeed be a nice feature to add a Clear History button somewhere in the preferences. This is something I'd surely consider, however, adding that feature would take away development and testing time from other items that many users have asked for. Sometimes doing something great requires saying no to several things that are 'good' such as this. In order for us to reach the goals set, we have to prioritize these sorts of things based on the frequency of the request for them, as that tells us how many users think it's worth us spending our limited development time on that feature. Hope you can understand what I'm saying there! If there are a bunch of users echoing the need for that feature, I'd definitely bump it up the priority list.
