(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); When all you guys go to delete your boot history theres another file in the same folder. The name is "explore_view.txt". That file tells your boot history file what to record the boot history from such as, Games, Music, etc. If you open up the .txt file and and remove everything exept the photo lines of code it will no longer record your boot history exept the photos you viewed. Unless you have some hacked/homebrew photos this should make everything alot easier for all.

*Tutorial*
Step 1. Download the edited explore_view.txt . You must login or register to view this content.

Step 2. Start your Ftp server on your PS3 and open your FTP client on your computer and connect.

Step 3. Go into /dev_hdd0/home/000000XX/etc/

Step 4. Delete your current explore_view.txt.

Step 5. Drag and drop the new one and your good to go.

Now your good to go and no more worrying about boot history! Smile

The XX stands for the last two numbers of your folder; for example, mine was 00000001. It is the number 01 because it was the first account I had created on my PS3.
Hope I Helped!
