You can start Internet Explorer 8 in InPrivate Mode using the Start Menu Internet Icon.

To start Internet Explorer in InPrivate Browsing mode when the user clicks on the Start menu Internet icon.

- Download ie8-sm-inpriv.zip,
- Unzip/extract the contents to a folder.
- Double-click ie8-sm-inpriv.reg to merge the contents to the registry.

This adds the Browse in InPrivate mode option to the right-click menu of Internet Explorer icon in the Start menu, and sets it as the default action.

Note -
The REG file adds the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Clients \ StartMenuInternet \ IEXPLORE.EXE \ shell \ private \ command

and sets the following command for the (default) value
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -private

One of the features with Internet Explorer 8 is InPrivate Filtering...

InPrivate Filtering lets you browse where you want using Internet Explorer —and no information from your browsing session will be retained locally on your computer. You simply open a new tab and choose Start InPrivate Browsing.

When you're done, you close the tab and that's it—nothing is recorded. This is great when you use a kiosk or shared computer where you do not want your history left behind. It's also particularly useful when you are shopping for gifts for a spouse or researching health information or investment strategies. InPrivate Filtering puts you in control of your browsing history.
