I dont want to set up parental control, i just want to see what my son has been on. to see if he has been lying to me. I want for him to go on a bad site and then check the history later and call him into the room and ask him what has he been doing.

    In answer on your further information: i think of it quite is trouble-free, suggesting he use a different browser. then you definitely can save your histories separate. If he needs to maintain using IE, basically tell him to apply InPrivate surfing mode. No historic previous, cookies, or cached data are saved whilst in that mode so he won't ought to sparkling something, yet your stuff will nonetheless be there undamaged.

    I don't think there is even a program that will let you stop him from doing this. If there is then I have never heard of it and maybe someone else can say something about it but as far is doing it the "No Software" way then its 100% impossible.
