| Dear Maureen: |

True, this isn't the toughest or most interesting question we've ever tackled, but enough people write in requesting an answer that we felt it was high time for a little Browser 101. Deleting your web history is a pretty straightforward process. Here are instructions for the four most popular browsers: - Netscape Navigator - Under the "Tools" tab, scroll down to "Options." Click "Privacy" on the left, then click "Clear" under "Page History."
- Internet Explorer - Under the "Tools" tab, scroll down to "Internet Options." A separate window will pop up. Click the "Clear History" button.
- Safari - Under the "History" tab, scroll down to "Clear History."
- Firefox - Under the "Tools" tab, scroll down to "Options." Click the "Clear History" button.
