To add to what Dentist has already provided, I've done a bit of research: I've tried to copy and paste the files that store History and was not successful on Vista. The file path is: "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History"
On XP, I was also unsuccesful in my attempts to copy and paste certain portions of History out. The file path is: "%userprofile%\Local Settings\History" As far as disabling History altogether, I wasn't able to find that this is possible. You can however run a simple script that will delete your History when you logoff: @echo off RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1 exit Save that text into notepad and then schedule it as a task to run at logoff or you can configure a group policy to run this script at logoff. If you need help with any of this, just give us a holler.
