Those website you visit on a particular day 'will' still show regardless of
whether you set history to zero or turn off auto complete. The method I use
is the third party freeware application CCleaner
www.ccleaner.com I use it
at the end of my session to clear everything - cookies, history, temp
internet files etc. From the options section you can also set it to clean at
startup but, obviously, this will increase your PC's boot up time.
I've always found CCleaner an excellent application. The only downside is
that it also clears passwords and bank details (well cookies, anyway). That
doesn't bother me, but I believe there is a way of saving various website
cookies to prevent you losing any bank details, if you so require. CCleaner
also deletes the .DAT files from history, cookies, temp internet files, etc
which is ideal for the security conscious because people in the know can't
access the DAT files to find out where you have been on the web:-)
