Colin,
That's not a nefarious activity. I do it on any system that is not my
own, unless I specifically want to
leave the information there for some purpose. For critical URL's, I'll
always bookmark; otherwise,
the History is a nice backup.
Does this individual have a past history of porn surfing, etc.? If
he/she does not, then are you sure
people are not being paraniod here?
Let's assume for the sake of discussion that this person is doing this
and everyone is giddy with anticipation.
If you want to see some of what they have been looking at, you can
always peruse the IE cache where
all the images are stored and if you get the nasty eye candy then you
know someone has been where
they shouldn't have been. Otherwise, if you want to sandbag this person,
you can use a keyboard sniffer,
or an @ process that autocopies the IE history file to some other
location for later inspection. I would do
this in such a way that you can ping the file and it won't overwrite an
old copy that's full with the new
one that's empty. If you have PERL installed on the machine
(www.activestate.com) the file is trivial,
else you might have to use DOS commands, which also work.
You can place a camera in line of sight of their screen and watch where
they go. The Big Brother
possibilites are just endless...

I've got a quick IT question. There's someone at my office who deletes his
IE history each night, and that scares us. We know exactly where he goes
from the router; we have blocked any inappropriate sites both in his hosts
file and via an external blocker that comes free from our ISP. So the
computer's pretty locked down. But, whereas porn is always a church topic,
I'd like to do one more invisible thing: Is there a way we can set it where
he can't erase his IE history? I think that would help a lot, if he would
know that anywhere he visits will remain semi-public forever. Even if we
tweaked it so his history opened when he opened I.E. Neither of those seem
difficult, I just don't know where the buttons would be.
We don't have a domain set up or a centralized server. Right now he's got
admin rights because everyone does, but if by making him a regulated user
there's a button somewhere to disallow him access to erase his tracks, that
would be nice. Anyway, comments?
