| How to Delete History Files?
The following steps will allow you
to manually remove some of your browsing
history information, but there will
still be traces of your browsing history
which professionals could locate.
In Internet Explorer, follow these
steps to erase your browsing history
from the "history" window
1. Make the following sequence of menu
choices: Tools -> Options -> Internet
Options -> General
2. Click "Delete Files,"
then "OK."
3. Click "Delete Cookies,"
then "OK."
4. Click "Clear History,"
then "Yes."
In Netscape or Mozilla, follow these
steps:
1. Make the following sequence of menu
choices: Edit -> Preferences ->
History
2. Click "Clear History"
Internet Explorer may also remember
your form entries for you, which can
result in past searches appearing in
a drop-down box when typing in search
keywords on your favorite search engine
or similar. To erase this information,
follow this sequence of menu choices:
Tools -> Internet Options ->
Content -> AutoComplete -> Clear
Forms
You can also clear the "Forms"
checkbox to prevent the program from
trying to recall your form selections
for you in the future.
America Online
The America Online browser is based
on Microsoft Internet Explorer. In addition
to the information above, here are specific
steps to clear your AOL browsing history:
1. Select "settings" from
the set of buttons at the top of the
AOL window.
2. Select "preferences."
3. Select "toolbar and sounds."
4. Select "clear history trail
now."
Other browsers offer similar functions;
investigate their menus thoroughly.
These techniques prevent other users
of the machine from accidentally or
casually discovering your browsing habits.
Professionals could still find traces,
by examining deleted but not yet reused
files on your hard disk, for example.
