  • If you want to clear various forms of history on the pc. For windows if you right click on the task bar (the long bar always at the bottom of your screen to the right of the "Start" menu button, then click properties, then click "Start Menu" buttonn click "Customize", you will see a "Clear" button which will erase all history of recently accessed documents, programs and web sites.

    For Firefox: Tools > Options > Privacy (tab) , Then under "Private Data" click settings from there you can choose which type of information (by ticking box) you want to clear, simply click clear.

    For Internet Explorer: Tools > Internet Options > General (tab), Then under "Browsing History" click delete, from here you can choose what type of information to delete/clear.
