How to Delete your IE history Effectively

The Internet Explorer History list makes it easy to find and return to Web sites and pages you’ve visited in the past. Whether it’s today or a few weeks ago, the History list can record every page you visit, so it’s easy to go back later on.
But it’s a big trouble on shared computers as others can access your history & I don’t think you would love to share that information.
