Windows XP question
 
Besides going to control panel / internet options and clearing cookies and deleting files and history-- where do I need to go to clear off all my internet history that is on my work computer.
I can't find the temp internet files anywhere!

Thanks-
wendi

What browser are you using?

Firefox makes it very easy: Go to Tools -> Options and click on Privacy. There's a button in the lower right marked Clear All. That will wipe everything - history, stored passwords, cookies, etc.

Internet Explorer
It is my computer here at work-- I am giving notice on Monday and want to make sure I have cleaned everything I possibly can prior to me saying anything.
Thanks for the Foxfire info- I will have to do that at home.

For IE you should do this:

In IE: Tools -> Internet Options, then click Delete Cookies, Delete Files (be sure to check Delete all offline content in the confirmation pop-up), and Clear History. It sounds like you've already done these things... the Internet Options window is the same one that comes up when you go into Control Panel and choose Internet Options.

Now clear out the following folders:
- C:\WINDOWS\Temp\Temporary Internet Files
- C:\Documents and Settings\<your userid>\Cookies (if you've done the above steps, this folder should be empty except for a file called index.dat)

Do you want to get rid of your favorites list too? If so, in IE go to Favorites -> Organize Favorites and delete them. Favorites info lives at C:\Documents and Settings\<your userid>\Favorites
