How To Clear Cookies, History, etc. with a Single Click

Clearing past internet activities is often necessary and desirable, however it’s cumbersome to go to different menus and click various options repeatedly. Here’s a trick that allows you to erase them with a single click using a shortcut.

* Right-click on a free area in your desktop to make a shortcut. A shortcut allows you to go to a location within a single computer, to another computer, to Internet addresses, or run programs with a single click of a mouse. Right-click a clear area in the desktop. Make sure that your mouse is not hovering over a file, folder or a program icon, because right-clicking on these icons then left-clicking ‘Create Shortcut’ makes a shortcut to the file, folder or program and not to a new shortcut that’s designed for the purpose you have in mind.
* Select ‘New’ among the options. Right-clicking on a free desktop area opens up a menu with a list of commands. Left-click on ‘New’ or move your mouse over the word. A menu appears with a list of items you may create. Select ‘Shortcut’ and left-click it. You may press the letter S on the keyboard instead of clicking on the item.
* Use the Create Shortcut Wizard. A lot of programs have built-in programs called ‘Wizards’ to help the user use and navigate through them. The Create Shortcut Wizard guides you in making shortcuts to the location or program you choose. If you know the exact location of the item, type it in the box provided. If not, browse through the locations available. To clear cookies, history, temporary internet files, and related items with a single click, you must access a program within the computer system that does this.
* Specify the location of the erasing program. The exact address of the erasing program is as follows: %windir%system32RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255 Copy the previous line of text by highlighting it (click the left mouse button on the start of the line, hold the mouse button and drag the mouse to the end of the line and release the button). Then, right-click the highlighted line and left-click ‘Copy.’ Then, move your mouse to the Create Shortcut Wizard. Place your mouse over the box under ‘Type the location of the item’ then right-click it, making sure that the box is clear. Then, left-click ‘Paste’ to make the line appear within the box. Check whether the pasted line is correct. If yes, left-click the ‘Next’ button.

* Type a shortcut name. After inputting the Shortcut location, The Create Shortcut Wizard then asks you to name your newly created shortcut. You may choose the name given in the box, or erase it and type your own. Name it in such a way that you’ll remember what the shortcut’s purpose is. However, if you don’t want other people to know what your shortcut is for, choose a vague name. When giving a name, avoid using invalid characters such as the following: ? * : ' > < | / and very long names.
* Press ‘Finish.’ When you’re done, left-click the ‘Finish’ button. You now have a shortcut that erases Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files, etc. with a single click. You’ll find the shortcut at the desktop. You may click and drag the shortcut to any location you want. Test the shortcut and see if it works. Check the History, the Cookies, etc. to see if they’re still there.

Place your shortcut where you can see it, or remember where it’s located for easy access. Write down the address of the program, so that you may create shortcuts in other computers as well.
