recently visited websites

How do I delete the websites that are located in my search bar (the list that pops down when you click on the little arrow to the right of the bar). Some of the websites I don't need to keep. Thanks

 

Hi Levi, welcome to Wilders, you need to clear your History

Internet Explorer> Tools> Clear History

As per screenshot

Hope this helps...

Cheers

 

Hi there is a program called "Windows Washer" that clears usage tracks and it also has a secure shreder, its not free but fairly cheap. works well for me.

 

hi blackspear
Is there a way to clear them every time you shut down the computer,or is every day (set to clear history at 1 day)the least time they can be kept?

One way you can do this is with crap cleaner:

http://www.ccleaner.com/

There's a setting "Automatically clean computer on boot". You can specify what to clean - MRUs, IE history and temporary files, etc.

 

Hi Rita,

If you are using IE it might be a good idea to use the Maxthon browser. Cleans cookies, cache, history etc. and a lot of other usefull options.

One little tip if you don't use your History for checking anything is to set the days to '0' I have mine set at this even though I use XPSmoker at the end of the day to delete all the stored IE things.

 

hello, Rita. you probably dont need the screenshots, but i have nothing better to do with my time at this time of night then try and do those oblong things that take about 10 goes to get right.
first click options, then automatically clean on boot

 

Hi Robyn
Thats a good idea--thanks
Rita

 

Hi IC
ccleaner is a good little prog isnt it?what I like about it is that it's so fast,doesnt take so long to run.I sure use it alot,but you know I've noticed when I check clean history sometimes it dont work,I wonder why?

Has anyone realised this guy has only posted once, and speaking from experience *cough* he probably just wanted to know how to avoid getting caught by his parents.

Although very helpfull to other people including guests reading the thread.

Of course, You have never done anything like that, right? We know you know what you are doing, but some of us don't and appreciate the time and effort put into helping us.

Don't you have some forums to MOD, yourself?? Hmm? There's plenty of yardwork somewhere around that needs trimming, want to volunteer?
