IE

I know quite a few tricks, but I don't know how to partially clear the history and the address bar.

Hi,
I have to say that your story is getting more and more suspicious.
I don't understand something; if you want to delete a visited site from the history, you open the history, right-click on the site in question, and delete it. That's it.

Not suspicious at all!
The individually deleted sites from the history still appear in the dropdown menu of the address bars.

It's therefore the appearance of URLs of visited sites that you want to erase, not just the history.
Not suspicious at all, right? But in addition to deleting the history, your daughter should type on the keyboard with gloves as a safety measure;-)
Well, since I'm not really sure it's not suspicious, I'll give you some leads:
For a URL not to appear in the address bar, it’s not necessarily required to erase the history if one knows a bit about surfing. Instead of wondering what can be done afterwards, one can think about what can be done beforehand.
Happy searching.

It reminds me of a sketch by Les Inconnus, "Why do you want batteries?" Honestly, stop your value judgments and so on; when we don't have an answer, we should be quiet. Anyway, regarding Mado311's question, I think this should answer it (at least on Firefox): http://www.generation-nt.com/firefox-vider-historique-navigateur-astuce-46074-1.html

well, the date of the question is no longer very recent, but it can still be useful for other visitors in particular

Hello Mado,

Well, you're on IE, but which operating system?
If it's Windows 2000, XP, NT, or 2003, create one user account with a password for yourself and one for your daughter, and each will have her own private space separated from the other, so these little inconveniences won't happen anymore.

If you're on Windows 95 or 98, I'll say two things:
-First, unfortunately, it's no longer secure (critical vulnerabilities that Microsoft refuses to fix)
-Then it's also possible (and preferable) to create user accounts. However, I can't say for sure if that will be enough for your problem.

-It doesn’t seem great!
-Don’t be fooled, because no one has come out of there! [...] One has to say that no one has gone in either.

re
'partially'!! why? it's all or nothing
keeping the history takes up space and its usefulness doesn't seem useful to me
he who can do less can do more

ccleaner offers you other services, as mentioned earlier

hi

Just tell your daughter to use the FAVORITES menu to go to her addresses and not the history

Here is the answer to your question, rather than value judgments ;-)


In the address bar of Internet Explorer, it is possible to know with a single click the websites visited. Indeed, the addresses of these appear in the address bar of this browser. This feature allows you to save time when visiting a previously consulted website by clicking on the link to avoid having to re-enter the website's address. In the eyes of some, this feature may betray our privacy. To completely clear this list, all you need to do is erase the history, a function available in the options of Internet Explorer. Less known, there is another solution that allows you to delete only the address or addresses you wish to erase from the address bar. Thus, you delete the desired addresses and not the entire list. However, this method is aimed at computer savvy individuals as you will need to modify information in the registry, the operational core of Windows.
Open the registry by executing regedit from the Start menu. Then locate the entry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\ TypedURLs.
Then, in the right part of the registry window, the URLs, that is to say the addresses of the websites contained in the address bar of Internet Explorer, will appear. Select the one you wish to delete and right-click on it, then choose the Delete command. Confirm your desire to delete the value and exit the registry. Restart your computer for the update to take effect.
Note that if you delete, for example, the tenth URL, the other more recent URLs will also be deleted (the eleventh, the twelfth...). Since the URLs are listed in chronological order of website consultation, it is advisable to delete the "unwanted" URL immediately after its consultation.

Hello
I am reaching out to you because I have a question about everything related to history, cache, passwords, etc., in short, anything concerning the internet.
I use Mozilla Firefox to be more precise.
So, how to explain this clearly, my partner goes through my computer and insists on wanting to find something; well, that’s another story lol.
I am not a beginner in computing; quite the contrary, I am a telecommunications programming engineer (which irritates me even more because I can’t figure out how she does it).
Even after, first, clearing history, cache, passwords, etc. in Mozilla, then using the command prompt to completely clear the computer cache, and afterwards cleaning all folders in Documents and Settings under Owner/Recent or elsewhere, she still manages to know all the websites I’ve visited and the precise time, etc. This frustrates me as it’s a personal violation, and I don’t want to end up setting a session password.
So if you have any ideas, they would be more than welcome.
I would like to clarify that my partner is supposedly a simple internet user (so anything related to the registry keys can’t be it).
I was thinking more about some kind of document or folder where all the history could be saved and protected.
Additionally, does CCleaner completely erase history 100%?
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Fred
