Internet Explorer History?

Is it possible to completely turn of the "History" function in Internet
Explorer. I know that you can select the number of days to save your History
in the Internet Options, but is it possible to completely turn off History so
that nobody can tell where you have been in the last few minutes? In other
words, I don't want there to be any trace of what sites I have visited.

Hi,
As you may have found out, even a setting of 0 days (to save History) will
keep the History until midnight of the current day.

You might try IE Privacy Keeper:
http://browsertools.net/IE-Privacy-Keeper/index.html (freeware.) It can be
configured to clear history, cookies, etc when the last browser window is
closed.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Don! It just never ceases to amaze me what these computers can do.
