  1. Delete your cookies and temporary Internet files. Click on the little green clock (History) and make sure its deleted there which it should be.


  2. You can use 'Free Internet Window Washer'.It allows you to erase Window's temp folders, run history, search history, open/save history, recent documents, your browser's cache, cookies, history, visited URLs, typed URLs, autocomplete memory, index.dat files. You can find it at any of the following:

  3. To clear your history from Internet Explorer:

    1. Go to the "Tools" menu.

    2. Select "Internet Options."

    3. Click the "General" tab.

    4. Click the "Clear History" button. To completely disable the history function, set "Days to keep pages in history" to zero.

    To turn off this feature:

    > Open an Internet Explorer page

    > Go to tools

    > Click on Internet options

    > Click the content tab

    > Then click the auto complete button, make sure you uncheck every thing in there.

    To clear your history from Mozilla Firefox:

    1. Go to the "Tools" menu.

    2. Select "Options" > "Privacy" > "History."

    3. Click on "Clear." To completely disable the history function, set "Remember visited pages for the last X days" to zero ("0").

    4. Click "OK" to exit.

    This will resolve it all :)

    ***********

    These steps are if you have Yahoo! Toolbar:

    If you want to remove all the entries in your search history right now, but you still want Yahoo! Toolbar to remember your searches in the future, do the following:

    1. Click the Pencil menu.

    2. Select "Clear Recent Searches".

    If you want to save your recent searches while you're searching on the Web, but automatically clear the saved searches when you close your browser window, do the following:

    1. Click the Pencil menu.

    2. Select "Toolbar Options".

    3. Select "Auto-clear recent searches when exiting IE" so there's a checkmark in the box next to it.

    4. Click "OK".

    If you want to disable the feature entirely so none of your searches are saved, do the following:

    1. Click the Pencil menu.

    2. Select "Toolbar Options".

    3. Click "Remember Recent Searches" so there's not a checkmark in the box next to it.

    4. Click "OK"

  4. i don't know of a way to do it all at once.

    but:

    either click on your History button, or press "H" and Ctrl on your keyboard. your history should come up. right click and then click DELETE.

    ...my philosophy is, don't look at anything that should be erased.

  5. see teh clock with the green arrow in between teh star and letter?

    click it

    than right click all the dates and delete

    **also if you go to "Tools" at the top than go down to internet options...See the history one at teh bottom?

    type in 0 so the history wont stay in the computer :0 so now u can do sneaky stuff :)

  6. click the history icon  and right click the stuff you want to delete

  7. Ok firstly: when you open up internet explorer at the very top where it says file...edit..view...favorites...tools and help click on tools...scroll down to the bottom of the list to internet options...click on it.. click on delete cookies..then click on ok...go to your start button...go to search type in "COOKIES" 3 files should pop up...click on the last file it'll open up...make sure it reads c:\Documents and Settings\whatever the name of the pc or user name is\cookies HIGHLIGHT ALL THE STUFF IN THERE "EXCEPT INDEX" AND DELETE. Then empty your trash can. And wallah you're done. If you have Y! toolbar, click on the pencil thing and go to clear search history as well and the same with google toolbar. Because even though you may have deleted the main cookies those will not be deleted until you manually delete those.
