    Clearing IE7 History using Command Prompt

    If you like to build batch files to automate cleanup on your computer, you’ll probably want to include at least one of these commands in your batch script. You can automate any one of the functions on the Internet Explorer 7 Delete Browsing History dialog.


    Here’s the dialog that you are probably used to seeing:

    And here’s the commands that correspond to the different buttons. The most important one from a cleanup perspective is the first, which will delete just the temporary internet files that are cluttering up your computer.
    To use these commands, just run them from the command line, the start menu search box in vista, or a batch file.



    Temporary Internet Files



    Code:
    RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8
    Cookies



    Code:
    RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2
    History


    Code:
        RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1
    Form Data



    Code:
    RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16
    Passwords



    Code:
     RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32
    Delete All


    Code:
        RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255
    Delete All - “Also delete files and settings stored by add-ons”



    Code:
      RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 4351
    These tweaks should work in Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP (SP2) and Windows Vista (all versions)

    Re: Clearing IE7 History using Command Prompt

    I found tools of gui mode much easier that that. Today there are ample of tools like CCleaner which can wipe all the traces from your system. You can also delete the same by using registry editor. To delete your browsing history in IE there is a simple way. To completely remove these traces of browsing click on start and then in the run box type regedit.hen head to the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ TypedURLs. There you can delete all the values ​​you think convenient, except the default.
