Hi,
Sometimes I go to cybercafe for internet surfing. At the end, I do clear , temporary internet files, URLs visited etc. by going thru IE internet options. But for past few days, in cybercafe, there options are disbled. May be by using a tool.

DOS prompt, Start->RUN option were disabled. In IE the internet options is invisible.
However I can get access to NOTEPAD program. Using that I create a .bat file with single word COMMAND and save in Mydocs. folder. Then when I click on that , It opens DOS window . Then I thought of using Regedit, MSConfig etc but couldn't locate them on the harddisc.(probably hidden by the tool they installed in the cybercafe).

Anyway, I went to C:\windows\Tempor~1 and cleared temp. files. Similarly cleared C:\windows\history, Recent etc.
But I couldn't clear Address hsitory and I still doubt that I had to erase some more.

Finally In cybercafe only, I downloaded System mechanic installed and cleared Internet traces . But next time I go , Sysmech was uninstalled. So everytime I have to download and use .

Is there any tool (.exe file) that can serve my purpose ie. to clear internet history so that I can download within less time .

Thanks in advance.

Don't visit websites that you shouldn't be visiting in a public place.
