Microsoft says the next generation of its Internet Explorer browser will allow users to easily delete traces of their Internet travels and other data.
Microsoft Corp. said its next-generation Internet Explorer 7 browser will feature more sophisticated and effective tools for clearing the application's memory of Web usage data.
In a posting to the company's IE 7 blog site, Microsoft Program Manager Uche Enuha reported that the new software will offer a "Delete Browsing History" feature that will allow users to more easily delete information regarding what sites they visit online.
Whereas previous versions of IE forced people to execute several different functions in order to fully wipe out their browser memory, Enuha's report said the new system will greatly simplify that process.
IE 7 is slated to reach the market sometime before the end of 2006 as part of Microsoft's launch of its new Windows operating system, dubbed Vista.
In addition to erasing the list of the sites that have been visited using IE 7, the software will also streamline the manner in which people can erase other types of information that can be stored in their browsers, such as passwords, temporary files, online form data and even cookies, or information saved to a PC's hard disk by certain Web sites.
The tool even offers a "delete all" option to wipe out all the browser-based data at once.
