How to Pull Down the Command Bar Menu to Delete History
Versions 7 and 8 of the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser include a menu near the top-right corner of the window called the Command Bar. This interface element holds the Page, Safety and Tools pull-down menus, which allow you to access your browser's settings and preferences with just a few clicks. Once you understand the proper steps, using the Command Bar's Safety or Tools pull-down menu to delete your browsing history becomes a very quick task.
