Disable Browsing History and Clearing Cookies Option in Internet Explorer
2009 February 7
Stumble it!
A common scenario in offices / homes is that users sometimes visit prohibited website and then delete internet browsing history and clear cookies to remove all the traces. You can prevent this by disabling the browsing history and clearing cookies options for them, catch is that they have to use internet explorer, if they aren’t, make them =) — Anyway, here’s how to do it
Enable the following group policy settings located in both Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\ and User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\:
- Turn off “Delete Browsing History” Functionality
- Turn off “Delete Forms” Functionality
- Turn off “Delete Passwords” Functionality
Hope it helps.
Is this a Vista thing? I’m still on XP.
Steve, It does work on XP as well.
One more reason to use firefox!
