Clear Internet Explorer History From the Command

September 21st, 2008 | by admin |

If you like to build batch files to automate cleanup on your computer, you’ll probably want to include at least one of these commands in your batch script. You can automate any one of the functions on the Internet Explorer 7 Delete Browsing History dialog.

And here’s the commands that correspond to the different buttons. The most important one from a cleanup perspective is the first, which will delete just the temporary internet files that are cluttering up your computer.

To use these commands, just run them from the command line, the start menu search box in vista, or a batch file.

Temporary Internet Files:

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 8

Cookies:

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 2

History:

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1

Form Data:

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 16

Passwords:

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 32

Delete All:

RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255
