I would like to know how to erase the information about where Iv'e been on the web of my computer. I think it's called cookies? How do I erase these, so my computer doesn't have my internet history on it? If i do this, will it do anything to my computer? Any help is greatly aprecciated, thanks!
For XP users only. Go to START CONTROL PANEL (SWITCH TO CLASSIC VIEW, IF NOT ALREADY SWITCHED) Click to open a folder called INTERNET OPTIONS On the general tab click DELETE COOKIES Click OK Then click DELETE FILES click OK Then click CLEAR HISTORY This will clear all internet use. -------------------------------- To clear all passwords, Google searches and web sites requiring usernames Go to the content tab and click AUTO COMPLETE then click CLEAR FORMS then click CLEAR PASSWORDS Who's been a naughty boy then.!
Nemisis is correct. But, don't forget while you are on "Internet Options" to click on "Clear History"! And I personally like to click on "Disk Cleanup"! Having a good anti-Spyware program is a big help too.
when i clicked "delete cookies," it said "Delete all cookies in temporary internet folders file?" I clicked yes, I saw no "clear history," button, will what i did still delete all internet files permanatly?
MattInVegas I also do the ''Disk Clean Up'' thing. Another one to clear is any history in your ''Firewall'' programme, as this collects all the data too. Windows Media Player also accumulates history that can be cleared as well.
