Computer question

[Ballcox]

Any help with this would be much appreciate. Does anyone know of a way to delete an internet/browsing history when there isn't a scrool down menu which provides this option?

I want to delete the browsing history on my computer here at work (I accidentally visited a sight I shouldn't have), and don't have the option to do so. At home on the pc, I just go to the tools drop down menu and it gives you the option to delete browsing history, cookies, etc.

Don't have that here at work and was wondering if anyone knew a way to still do this? Any info/advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

Go to Control Panel> Internet Options> Under "browsing history", select Delete.

Yep, did that. Problem is the option there to delete browsing history won't let me click on it. Any way to get around that and delete browsing history?

Or am I screwed due to my system administrator here not letting me have that option to delete a browsing history? Any info/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah, your computer probably doesn't have the permissions to change system settings like that.

just remember everything goes thru your company's server first. i'd buddy up to the IT dude.

You might be able to delete the history directly. The history information might be in Local Settings\History

he can't delete browser history and you suppose he can install an application on that same computer? haha.

In Windows Explorer browse to:

C:\Do ents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
Crtl & A
Delete

Local Settings is a hidden folder, go into folder options and select show hidden files and folders if you don't see it.

There's ALWAYS a way to delete files from your system even if your box is locked down via policy. I'd even go as far as booting with a PE disk with a Windows Explorer GUI and delete thru there (find one that works with folders with NTFS restrictions).

just format the hard drive. that will delete the history

No it won't. You could just run data recovery on it. All formatting does is erase file pointers and check for bad sectors on the hard drive, to blacklist them. All your data remains on a formatted hard drive. You need a program like dban (http://www.dban.org/) to effectively wipe a hard drive's contents (it overwrites everything with random numbers so no recovery can be done).

I dont think computers at the workplace would give you that type of permission to do any kind of formatting or any kind of dabbling of the Windows applications.
