Go to Internet Options and see if the box 'Delete browsing history on exit' is ticked. Untick it and it should be okay. If it is unticked then have you another programme that deletes your history?

Why don't you use 'Favourites'? When you are in websites that you use regularly, just add them to Favourites or use Google?

In that case try to reset Internet Explorer 9 (assuming you're running it - if not download it now). Then go to Internet Options, click 'Advanced', click 'Reset', click Delete personal settings. It will reset IE to the default setting and then you will need to set your search provider and so on.
