Lock IE Browser Hystory
Employers may want to lock Internet Explorer history so employees cannot erase the history before they can get a look at the history. The history tells you which web sites have been visited. You will have to edit the windows registry to lock this information.
Instructions
- Click on the "Start" menu and choose "Run." Type "regedit" without quotes. Press "Enter."
- Find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel in the registry editor. You can use the search function to find this in the registry editor.
- Create a DWORD value called History by right clicking and choosing "New DWORD Value." Type "History" when it asks for the name.
- Double click on the "History" value you have created. Change the value from 0 to 1.
Tips and Warnings!!
- Always backup your registry before changing it.
