Ideally, you have to manually delete internet browsing history in Internet Explorer browser. Internet Explorer 8 makes life very easy browsing the web and managing copied cache history files. You can setup Internet Explorer 8 to automatically delete browsing history when you exit (or close) it.
Automatic method to delete history in IE8
1. Open Internet Explorer browser.
2. Goto Tools > Internet Options.
3. Click to check option “Delete browsing history on exit”.
4. Then click Apply, OK.
From now on, after every browsing session when you close Internet Explorer window – the browsing history will be deleted automatically in the background, without you having to click anywhere to delete it. Handy, isn’t it?
I like this option at work, so I don’t worry about the history
Our company has disabled the delete browsing history how can I over come this?

Great post. Another good option to keep your browsing history cache down, is the InPrivate Browsing feature which enables you to surf the web without leaving a trail in Internet Explorer.
