Most web browsers, including Internet Explorer, keep a history of what you have been looking at during your Internet session for future reference. This can often be more of a hindrance than a helpful feature as other users of your computer can see the addresses of websites that you have been looking through.

 

To ensure your privacy and security, a safe measure to practice is to delete your browsing history, particularly after using the internet in a public place, such as an internet cafe, university or school computers.

 

Here’s how to delete your browsing history:

bullet

Click the Start button, then click Internet Explorer.

bullet

Click the Tools menu, then click Delete Browsing History....

The Delete Browsing History window will appear.

From this window, you can delete individually Temporary Internet Files, Cookies, History, Form
data, and passwords by clicking the respective button beside the description (ie. Delete files...) or all of them all together by clicking Delete all.....

bullet

Internet Explorer will then confirm whether you are sure you wish to delete this.

Once confirmed, Internet Explorer will then delete your files.
