Microsoft Internet Explorer - address bar

Question
Hi. In the address bar in internet explorer (where u type the website) How do you delete all the websites that I typed there? cuz I don't want my kids to see what sites I go to.

Answer

Tools-->> internet options.

then click the delete files button will clear the Temp Internet files Cache folder.
Clicking delete cookies will clear the cookies set by the site you visit..

down under  clicking the  Delete History button  SHOULD
delete you browsing history....
which unfortunatley is not a reliable step... as some time it does and some time.. it does not...

then going to the Advanced tab...
scroll down to... security settings...
and Checking the Clear Temp Internet Files when browsers closes...
Also some times does the trick...

for to be very sure...
Deleting the content of
C:\windows\History folder  is also an option...
dont worry....those deleted folder in it will be recreated the next time you re-boot your system  only empty this time...


Wait...
Better still
Download
ccleaner   from   www.ccleaner.com  a freeware.

and running it often will also do the job..




hope it helps...
