Is there a way to erase specific browser history, without deleting all of it? I know how to erase all the history, but if you went to a site or two and wanted to delete just them, is there a way to do that? There was something in my browser history, and now it's gone, but the other stuff from the days before and after is there.....is that possible? If so, how? Thanks.

There is - all you would have to do is go into the history file (in Firefox you just click View --> Sidebar --> History) and the history would show up in a sidebar. You could then right click and delete any particular file you wanted, and it would no longer show up in your history.

That seems to be essentially the same from browser to browser, the only difference being how you get to the browser history. I'm using Opera; you'd find it on the Tools menu. In IE, you'd click on the history button. Once you get to the list, though, you right click on the pertinent item and select "delete".

Don't know that one at all. nor do I have access to it. Try looking in their help for entries about history. That should show you where to find it, and I'm guessing that, once you do, the procedure won't be much different from the others. Good luck.

RR doesn't have it's own browser (at least, I do not believe so). Do this, whatever browser program you are using, go to Help in the toolbar. You'll see something at the bottom "About xxxx"

xxx= browser i.e. Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc etc (there's a ton out there). Find this out then come back here. Though essentially, it should be in tools in your browser. IIRC, in IE it's like tools then Internet options then you can delete your cache/temp int. files and history, etc.

According to their RoadRunner comes with a customised IE browser, but I would imagine that te history is the same as regular IE, as Fran said:
