I think everyone will agree that the history of navigation of the browser can be as useful as extremely annoying, depending on the situations where you are.

Often, especially if you are using a shared computer between several persons, the fact that anyone can clearly see all the sites we visited, it can be quite unpleasant.

Internet Explorer 7 provides virtually all functionality to clear history, delete temporary files, stored passwords, the data stored in the cookie and form, the problem is that these are features that are not reachable and detectable in an immediate and intuitive, so that even those who know sometimes tends to confuse. Fortunately there is an alternative that does not require installing any additional software and is much more convenient especially if you have some 'familiarity with the command line: all the features of the cleanliness of private data are also run a browser closed, directly from the command line, or from the Start menu in Windows Vista (via the box "Search") and Windows XP (via the box "Run").

The following commands available:

  • Delete temporary files:
      Rundll32.exe Inetcpl.cpl, ClearMyTracksByProcess 8 
  • Delete Cookies:
      Rundll32.exe Inetcpl.cpl, ClearMyTracksByProcess 2 
  • Deleting history navigation:
      Rundll32.exe Inetcpl.cpl, ClearMyTracksByProcess 1 
  • Deleting data compiled form:
      Rundll32.exe Inetcpl.cpl, ClearMyTracksByProcess 16 
  • Deleting stored passwords:
      Rundll32.exe Inetcpl.cpl, ClearMyTracksByProcess 32 

And finally, if you want to delete all private data in a single operation by the command is run:

  Rundll32.exe Inetcpl.cpl, ClearM
