Hi bemba,

"You can clear this list by clearing your History. To do so, go to the
Control Panel (go to Start Menu, Settings, and then Control Panel). In
the Control Panel, click on Internet Options. On the main page you
will see the History options. Click on the "Clear History" button.
This will delete all the links or addresses in your History folder.

You can also set a time limit on the links in the History folder.
Right beside the "Clear History" button you will see a box with
numbers in it. This represents the number of days a link remains in
your History Folder.

Change it to the length of time you desire."
