While the cache captures all websites you've visited in the recent
past, including all images on these pages, a browser's History folder records
only the URL for each of these websites.
If you click the down arrow to the right of the address field near the
top of your browser, the URLs you see are ONLY the URLs you have physically
typed in -- not those that were accessed
through your bookmarks or favorites or those you arrived at by clicking on a
hyperlink on another Webpage.
In both Internet Explorer and Firefox you can see ALL websites you've
accessed (typed and clicked) by pressing CTRL+H while in the browser. Although
it is really not necessary to clear this History folder, you may choose to
occasionally delete any evidence of sites you recently visited.
To clear the History folder do the following:
