    Go to the Start button, click Control Panel, double click Internet Options. At the top click General. Go down to history and put a number in the box for how many days you want to keep things in history. It will automatically be deleted for the future. I have Tools at the top of my screen so I just click there and then click Browser Options, scroll to history and click CLEAR URL'S then ok. It's gone immediately.
