Browse the Web Privately

If you visit sensitive or private websites, you can tell Internet Explorer not to save any browsing history for those sites.

If you regularly visit private websites or websites that contain sensitive or secret data, you can ensure that no one else sees any data for such sites by deleting your browsing history, as described in the Tip. However, if you visit such sites only occasionally, deleting your entire browsing history is overkill. A better solution is to turn on Internet Explorer’s InPrivate Browsing feature before you visit private sites. This tells Internet Explorer to temporarily stop saving any browsing history.
