Re: Deleting History

I'm presuming you mean Internet Explorer webpage history.

Open the Internet Options dialog by clicking Tools, Internet Options. On the General tab, in the History box at the bottom, there is a Clear History button.

You should be cautioned at this point to steer clear of programs that claim to erase your history, or do a superior job of it. They are almost always Spyware applications.

Re: Deleting History

That's not necessarily internet history cleanng, but more of deleting unused/old files that the system doesn't think is important. It will delete ALOT more than just your internet history.

If you're looking for aprogram that helps you "clean up" excess stuff on your computer, in pretty much every category, i'd usggest "Crap Cleaner." It's simple to use and I love it. you cna pick what you want to gfet rid of and keep, and after the first few cleans its a very quick process. i use it ever yime i un-install something to fully get rid of any excess files the program left behind. on a basic level it does a good job, probably not extremely efficient but more than nothing.

Re: Deleting History

If you are talking about deleting your history from the internet' You need to Log on to the internet and then click on Edit at the top of the page' then click on Clear Toolbar History' Then i should come up with a Yes or No in a box what you have to click on. By clicking on the Yes sign you will be deleting your websites that are stored in your Address bar
