Hello,
My computer is also used by my little sister and i want to know the sites visited by her.
How could i disable the Clear History Button so that she is unable to clear her history.

I googled and found this solution
1. Open REGEDIT.
2. Navigate to section: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Policies\ Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\ Control Panel.
3. Create a new DWORD value.
4. Name it "History". Give it a value of "1".
5. Close REGEDIT.

But i dont find that registry entry in Regedit. In my regedit it shows the following link:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Policies\ Microsoft\SystemCertificates\

I use Win XP SP2 with IE 6.0.2900.2180

It doesn't take very much effort at all to clear the history in IE. The safest easy way to monitor internet activity is to tell your router to keep a log, and set an good pasword on the admin account in your router's control panel.
