I'm selling my computer and I would like to clear my website history and auto-complete history on my Internet Explorer. I have my e-mail, MySpace, etc. usernames in auto-complete and the passwords saved along with them and I do not want who ever I sell my computer to to be able to access these accounts.How can I clear my Internet Explorer history?
Use ccleaner.com and adjust your settings in the browser. ~How can I clear my Internet Explorer history?
There are a few ways you can clear your tracks in Internet Explorer 8:
-Proactively with InPrivate Browsing - Internet Explorer 8 provides you with a choice over when your browsing habits are being recorded.
%26gt;Begin InPrivate Browsing by opening a new tab and selecting Browse with InPrivate from the menu on the page. You can also begin InPrivate browsing by opening a new page and selecting InPrivate Browsing from the Safety button on the Command bar. Once you complete this action, Internet Explorer 8 will launch a new browser session that won't record any information, leaving no evidence of searches or webpage visits. To end your InPrivate Browsing session, simply close the browser window.
-Reactively with Enhanced Delete Browsing History
%26gt;Now you can choose to preserve cookies and temporary Internet files for sites in your Favorites folder, thereby enabling those websites to remember user preferences and display faster while you browse. This added functionality helps you protect your information while ensuring the functionally and ease-of-use of your trusted favorite sites.
%26gt;To clear your tracks after you've browsed click Safety from the Command bar and select Delete Browsing History from the menu to open up a page of options. From here you can choose a number of options to keep your browsing private. Place check boxes next to the items you wish to remove and click Delete to cover your tracks.
Hope this helps,

CCleaner is a great application for clearing out that sort of stuff as well as more. You can get it at http://www.ccleaner.com/
It is a free program and I have been using it for a couple of years now with no problems.
If you just want to clear the IE History you can simply go to the safety located on the upper right hand side of IE or go to tools located on the left upper side of IE and select Delete Browsing History or in Tools is also the option Internet Options that you can select and from that screen in the General Tab section there is an area titled Browsing History and from there you can put a check mark in Delete Browsing history on exit and you can also select some features in the Settings and Delete options that are available in this area as well.
I hope this helps you out and Happy Holidays!
