If you excise your browser history you should not then be wondering why no links show up as followed.

All other Microsoft issues aside, I am amused by the "Yes, Bill, I have been looking at PORN" button in Windows XP...

or the 'how to stop your boss finding out you've been reading LJ from yet another dull temp job' button, as I know it.

Looking at porn at work? Ugh. No way I want to feel sexual around the sadsacks I work with.

At work? Oh. I only ever use Real Computers at work - the games machine is at home.

ah. why would you want to delete your history list at home, unless someone else who didn't know you well and who was likely to be suspicious and judgmental was going to be using your computer?

I gather that's a common problem. In my case I was fiddling.

As a property of the Start button, a thingy that erases all records of recently used files, recent visited Webshites, etc. Very handy if you've just been for a bit of fappery, I should think.

A coworker was recently relating that he was suspicious after his young-teens son had cleared the recent history. However his son wasn't clueful enough to clear the Google toolbar history...

I note that the only logging functionality my black-box router has is to automatically log all URLs that have been visited by machines on its network. There's probably a market for a obfuscating IE plug-in, simply encrypt the query and send it off to a remote proxy. Charge a few quid a month for proxy access.
