1. Right Click on your Desktop and Click New, Text Document

3. Double Click the Document to open it. Type or Paste the following text into the empty document RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255 It should now look like this:
3a. Click File, Save then Close the Document Ok, now it’s time to convert the document into a Batch file. It’s a simple process of changing the file extension to a .cmd file. 4. Right Click on the Document and Click Rename
5. Delete the document name and Type ClearHistory.cmd (or whatever you want to call it) After Rename – You’re Done! To test it out, just Double Click the File, and you should see an Internet Explorer 7 box open telling you it’s Deleting Temporary Internet Files
