A bookmark in a Web browser is essentially the same thing as a bookmark in a book. It saves the page URL/location, allowing you to come back to it whenever you may need to. It saves the user from remembering their exact path to finding a certain website or page.

 clEar history

The address of every web page you visit is recorded in your browser history file. Your browser checks the history file every time you visit a web page, which is how it knows how to change the colour of links you have already visited. You can access your history file with most browsers by typing the command <ctrl>-h.

The most common uses of a history file are described below:

• Revisit sites. If you visited a site somewhere on the Internet and would like to return, but can't remember the URL, you can often find it in your history file. You can search for the site by the date visited, or by a text string search, and then double-click the entry to visit it.

• Search. You can search your history file for keywords to find sites you may have forgotten you visited.

• Delete. You can delete entries in your history file by highlighting them and pressing <delete>. When you subsequently visit a page with those links, they will be coloured like normal links that have never been visited.

You can also specify how long to keep pages in your history file:

Internet Explorer: Tools / Internet Options / General / History
Mozilla Firefox: Tools / Options / Privacy / History

The temporary internet files and cookies, which make up the "browser cache," are what help the browser keep track of the information that is displayed on a web page. Normally they are updated each time a page is viewed, but from time to time, the folder is filled or the files themselves can become outdated or corrupt. Erasing these files will have no effect on other data stored on the computer. Before clearing the cache, make sure all other browser windows are closed except one. Once the cache has been cleared, the browser must be closed and restarted. Additionally, the Log off button should be used when ANGEL coursework has been completed, rather than simply closing the browser. Doing so will help prevent any future cache issues.

how to make it clear???..just click.http://hhelp.yahoo/clear cache in web browser.


cLeaR URL hisTory. 

     URL history are the list of your visited URL on the pages. If you don't clear URL history files, your web browser automatically keeps a detailed record of all web sites you've visited usually for more than forty days. The history feature enables you to have a more exact internet surfing experience.

         For example, each time you type in a word into the URL address bar, a previously viewed website appears in the drop down menu of your browser. If someone has previously visited www.hotsex.com, This URL will show for all URL you enter beginning with the letter "H". Clear URL history to avoid the web browser from displaying your previous URL entries.

        Want to make sure nobody can snoop and see where you've been on the Internet?hehehehe...here i come.!!

if you want to eliminate only specific private searches from your URL history because there are other users of your PC who would like their URLs logged, you can selectively clear URL history files.
Just try it out....

• 1-Click Start on the desktop.
• 2-Go to Settings.
• 3-Click Control Panel.
• 4-Double-click Internet Options.
• 5-Make sure the General tab is selected.
• 6-Click Clear History in the History box.
• 7-Click OK when it asks if you want to delete all items in your history folder.
• 8-Click OK at the bottom of the General box to exit.

****Special Note: Even though you have followed the steps to delete your URL history, it can still be recovered by a savvy PC user. This is the result of Windows recover technology. Only editing your registry manually or using third party software such as a registry cleaner tool or privacy software will allow you to permanently clear URL history files.

       Multitasking, in an operating system, is allowing a user to perform more than one computer task (such as the operation of an application program) at a time. The operating system is able to keep track of where you are in these tasks and go from one to the other without losing information. Microsoft Windows2000, IBM's OS/390, and Linux are examples of operating systems that can do multitasking (almost all of today's operating systems can). When you open your Web browser and then open Word at the same time, you are causing the operating system to do multitasking.

    Being able to do multitasking doesn't mean that an unlimited number of tasks can be juggled at the same time. Each task consumes system storage and other resources. As more tasks are started, the system may slow down or begin to run out of shared storage.
*such a greatfull to have MULTITASKING body parts..hehehe
