On Netscape, go to the "Edit" menu and go down to "Preferences." The page that should then be showing has a button that says "Clear History." You can also set how many days you want your sites to remain in the history. Newer versions of Netscape have an additional button on this page which allows you to clear the location bar (where you type in the url's).
Now that you've cleared the History, you can can go clear the Cache, which saves any GIFs and JPEGs that are on any of the websites you have visited, from the same "Preferences" menu. To do this, click the little "+" next to "Advanced" (in the white section on the left) to expand that folder. Then, click on "Cache." To the right, you will notice "Clear Memory Cache" and "Clear Disk Cache." Those will clear all of the images from your cache (all the cache does is save images and such to help frequented pages load faster). You can also set how much space you want to allow for use of the cache.
I'm not as familiar with Microsoft Internet Explorer, but it also allows you to perform these tasks. As I don't have it here at work, I can't give you any specifics, but it works along the same lines as it does in Netscape.
One other thing you'll want to check is the "Cookies." If you're not familiar with these, TFL uses them to save your preferences, password, last time visited, etc. You can disable these from the "Preferences" menu (in Netscape) by clicking on "Advanced" itself (rather than the "+"). Once this is done, you have the options of accepting all cookies, accepting those that are only sent to the originating server, ot disabling them. You can also do this in Internet Explorer, but again, I don't have the specifics. If you can find it, you might want to check the "Cookies" folder under the C: drive (if that's the drive you're working on). Normally, a little window will pop up with a list of applications you can use to open cookies file. Just select which you want to open it with (like Word Pad, or Winword). If it has a bunch of stuff about the sites you visit, just delete all the text, and save the document. Be aware, however, that the sites like TFL that use cookies wont show the little red folders for new posts, and you'll have to type in your name and password whenever you want to post.
Just remember, though, if you're on a server system, you can clear and delete all the stuff you want off of your computer. The network administrator(s), however, can always find out where you've been.
Not that I'd ever do this, though... Oops, gotta work! Seeya later!
