How to Delete Individual Internet Explorer History in Vista

Remove individual history entries from Internet Explorer in Windows Vista.

Unless you specifically change its default settings, the Internet Explorer browser installed on your Windows Vista operating system automatically tracks certain aspects of your viewing history. The browser stores the title and web address of every page you visit, along with the date and time of each viewing. Fortunately, you can protect your privacy by removing individual listings from Internet Explorer's history file.

Instructions

1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer.

2. Click "View" in the top menu bar, select "Explorer Bars" and click "History."

3. Click the drop-down menu at the top of the History bar and select "View By Site."

4. Single-click the name of a website to view the list of pages associated with the site.

5. Right-click the name of the history entry you want to remove and select "Delete."

6. Click "Yes" when prompted by Internet Explorer to confirm your choice and delete the selected entry from your browser's history file.
