Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / April 2008Delete browser history
Maybe a good idea to provide an option that allows for automatic deletion of browser history when exiting the browser. That is one reason I have cosistantly avoided using IE 6 There already is an option to automatically delete the browser history. Go to Tools-->Internet Options, click on the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section and then enable the "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed" checkbox. > Maybe a good idea to provide an option that allows for automatic deletion of > browser history when exiting the browser.

Wouldn't that also delete your cache, making you re-download the same images each time you browse? Yes, you would have to re-download everything, but I think that is the intention of this feature--to remove all evidence of browsing history, so that it looks like the browser has never been used. > > There already is an option to automatically delete the browser history.

You can Delete Temporary Internet Files when browser closes, it will not delete cookies, you need to do that manually. It will not delete Browser History, unless you click "Delete All' at the bottom of the Delete button page. You can set the History to keep it any ammount of days you want.. I set it to 0 , it will keep one days worth of Browser HISTORY. Tools/Internet Options/General Tab/Browsing History/Settings Button at the bottom of Settings, "Days to keep pages in History"...... 0. >> There already is an option to automatically delete the browser >> history.
