Don't want others to know what websites you've been visiting ?

Every time you enter a URL in IE’s address bar, it gets saved. This is a useful feature for websites you visit regularly as you don’t need to retype the address every time. But if you don’t want other users to know which websites you have been visiting, you would want the URLs removed. Unfortunately, there is no simple select and delete option in IE. You do have the option of going to Tools – Internet Options – Clear History, but this deletes all URLs, even the useful ones.

To delete individual URLs, you need to edit the registry files. Click on Start – Run , type Regedit and click OK. Click on the + sign from the menu options on the left hand pane of the Window and in the drop down menu click on the following : HKEY – CURRENT - USER – Software – Microsoft – Internet Explorer – TypedURLs. On the right pane, you will see a list of the URLs currently stored in your address bar. Select the ones you want to delete, right click and delete it. Close the registry window and any open IE windows. Next time you open IE , the URLs wil have been removed.
