Internet Explorer 6 Privacy and Cookies

Clear Internet History

SUMMARY: Temporarily clear the list of the last sites visited with Internet Explorer.

Normally, Internet Explorer 6 keeps track of the websites you visited during the last few days in a History list, accessible by pressing CONTROL-H. While this may be useful in that you can more easily remember and access recently visited websites, if several people access your machine, others might also be able to view your recently visited sites. Thus, for privacy, if you want to temporarily clear the History list, do the following:

1. From Internet Explorer, choose "Tools" then "Internet Options".
2. When the "Internet Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select the "General" tab.
3. Click the "Clear History" button.
4. Press "OK" to close the dialog box.
