on this computer---how I check the history....& if there's a way of deleting it? how long is the info there? if the computer is turned off is it still there?

On my computer, at least, I go to my toolbar at the top of my screen and click on one of the buttons (mine is next to my favorites button). It will show the history, starting with the most recent and yes, there is a way to erase the history. I'm not sure how, but I think my teen DD could tell you...

ETA, my button is a counter-clockwise circle with an arrow on it.

How to spy:

Open your Internet Explorer ---->
At the top - click TOOLS --->
Internet Options --->
Settings ---->
View Files --->

That will save all the cookies - webpages, all the stuff youll need to get someone in trouble.

And its gonna show that - but that's a really precise way to see all the URL's that have been visited.... my going to those "home" pages, you can tell where someone has been.

Maximixe your window, and expland the column with the URL's

Try this to delete your history.

With Internet Explorer open, choose Tools then choose Internet Options. The General tab has a few options. Under Temporary Internet Files, chooses Delete Cookies and then Delete files. This could take a bit. FYI, if you delet cookies, you will have to log into the DIS the next time you visit.

After these are completed, choose Clear History. Then change the days in history to "0".

Do you have a button next to your favorites button that looks like a green arrow? If so click on that button. A screen should open up next to the right. That is your history. Scroll all the way up to the top and see you should be able to see if last weeks are there. I can go as far back as two weeks ago.

Nope no green arrow next to favs...

and what was saved was only 1 week...

so I'm guessing that there is no way to go back & tracj stuff if people are smart enough to delete it - huh?

If they only deleted and didnt empty the recycle bin - you could still see it. Check your recycle bin.

Now you have to tell me who youre spying on.
