Yes Manisha,

You can delete the temporary internet files, cache files and cookies from your system. This would prevent the computer by showing the history.

If you are using Internet Explorer:
1. Go to Tools >> Internet Options.
2. There in General tab, second section Check ON the Delete Browsing History On Exit.

history

This would help you prevent the storage of the history.

The best thing you can do is to download Ccleaner 2.35 and index dat analyzer 2.5

The above mentioned software clears the browsing data, your dat location file , cookies , and all the temporary file ,recently typed URLs and all the data which can track you.

If you use the other method of clear recent history there are many chances of being tracked.

Sometimes it becomes important to know where I am browsing. Otherwise you can delete it from the memory.
