Question

for windows xp and vista i dont know the commands for retrieving the history some has done it to my computer and i would like to know how it was done and how to delete it all

Answer 1

Ctrl + H - When your browser is open just press Ctrl + H to view history.



To clear history, just go to:



Tools > Internet Options > Delete Browsing History > Delete all.



If your not already using Firefox, I strongly recommend it. It's a much better and safer alternative to IE and you can set it up to clear the history each time you close the browser automatically. I also highly recommend CCleaner. CCleaner is free and removes all traces of your online activities.

Answer 2

you can't view messenger usage but you can look up internet history. using vista nad internet explorer 7 go to the View tab | Explorer Bar | History and you will see a window come up for it, using firefox: go to the history tab | show in sidebar and there you go, those should be the same settings for xp and mac too.

Answer 3

Messenger usage, not possible. Internet history, easily available in internet history.
