To Ensure Computer Privacy Delete Internet Explorer History
By Max Penn
Be sure you delete Internet Explorer history files if you
don’t want anybody knowing what you’ve been doing on
the Internet.
What’s that, you ask?
With Internet Explorer open, click on the History icon. It’s
located to the right of the Favorites icon (the star) and has
an image of a clock with a green counter-clockwise arrow.
Or, from the menu bar, select View, then Explorer Bar then
History.
Look over on the left side of the screen. Surprised at what
you see?
A lot of people are. Most don’t even know that this feature
exists, that it, until they’ve been caught visiting web sites
they shouldn’t have been visiting. By then, it’s often too
late to delete the Internet Explorer History file.
The Benefits of Deleting
Don’t think you can get into any trouble because you don’t
visit “adult” sites?
What about all that time you’re spending at work searching
for a new job, or monitoring the stock charts, or whatever
else it is you do that’s not work-related? Or after work
when you’re visiting online dating sites?
The point is, if you don’t delete the Internet Explorer
history file, you might find yourself explaining your
computer use to another.
How to Do It
It’s easy to delete Internet Explorer history files and
ensure your computer privacy. First, open Internet
Explorer. Then from the menu bar, select Tools, and then
select Options. Under the heading of General, look towards
the bottom and click on the button labeled, Clear History.
Poof—it’s all gone.
Deleting Can look Suspicious
But deleting the entire contents can be just as suspicious-
looking to someone’s who’s attempting to breach your
computer privacy. That’s probably why you have the option
to selectively delete Internet Explorer history entries.
While viewing the list of previously-viewed web sites, right-
click on the site you want to delete and then confirm this is
what you want to do when prompted. Repeat as necessary
today and as often as you need.
In Conclusion
Not everyone who deletes Internet Explorer history files
has something to hide. Some do it because they don’t like
the AutoComplete feature that finishes filling in the name of
a web site they’ve visited previously based on the letters
they’re entering. Others simply do it as a way of protecting
their computer privacy.
And now that you know this feature exists, you get to
decide what to do with it.
