How to delete urls from the 'frequently visited sites' list? Help!?

Question

Hi, my kid visited a pornography website using my sister's PC and she has three daughters! I think it may have been one of those automatic re-routers (what's the the technical name for them?) that he invited in when he responded to a 'you've won a free I-Pod' pop-up. Anyway, obviously I have lectured him at length but I also need to remove the link from the drop-down bar at the top of Windows Explorer before my sister's kids find it. What do I do?

Answer 1

hi eris, this was thought to me by my it friend, hope this will help you too :)

a. go to the control panel

b. click Internet options

c. in the general tab - click delete cookies and then click delete files- tick the box delete all file content then click settings - from there, click again view files, select it all then delete. you can also do this in the view objects tab too (these are the programs installed while on line) then click OK

d. click clear history and if ask are you sure click yes.

e.lastly, click advance and click the restore defaults tab, click apply then OK.

when you open your browser, the links are no longer there..
