Delete URL

Dear Me,

I was reading some papers from nowhere and I came across some techie stuff. For a non-techie like me, learning a simple, relevant process is simply a joy. It's not big stuff but proves to be 'handy'.


To delete previously visited websites in the address bar in the Internet Explorer:

Click Start and hit Run.
Type Regedit in the Run dialog box.
In the Registry Editor, click HKEY_CURRENT_USER
then Software > Microsoft >
Internet Explorer > Typed URLs
then delete the URLs.
Close the browser and re-launched it.

I tried doing this and it worked. Now, I know. Hehehe. I remembered an old experience while I was still a part-time staff in the med school. I used this computer to do my work but somehow the lure of the internet was too much to be ignored. I was having a fun time browsing sites and one of the bosses came back early. Goodness. I could still feel the anxiety and jitters of being caught in the act. Hahaha. I even asked my partner how could I removed the website I had browsed to prevent myself from being castigated. Unfortunately, she had no idea how. Fortunately for me, I was never caught. :)

  1. There's actually an easier and safer way to delete your previous address. Right click your internet explorer, select properties, then on the bottom, under the "history" section, click on "Clear History". It's safer to do this since altering the registry can sometimes lead to disaster. Yeah, i'm a techie. But you already knew that. :)

  2. ...or inside IE: click Tools-Internet Options-Clear History. :-)

  3. ken & johnheart, what I mean by deleting URL is not the entire URL. That will be too obvious from prying eyes. :) I mean, just one or two particular URLs. :) You can choose to delete one.

    And I know the clear history process though. ;)

  8. anonymous and no5, are you guys one and the same? hehehe. Anyway, I have to be discreet when I remove a site. If I erase the entire list of URLs i visited, that would rouse suspicion. =)

    btw, you guys have blogs?
