CNET Editors' review
This very basic yet free privacy-protection tool does what it's supposed to, but basically duplicates functionality already found in Internet Explorer. Internet History Cleaner handles the job suggested by its name, clearing away typed URLs, cookies, and temporary Internet files. It can also wipe tracks from the Run menu and the Recent Documents list. The application provides access to a bookmark-management tool, though Internet Explorer already has one built right in. Unlike full-blown privacy suites, this one doesn't support alternative browsers, can't clean up tracks from third-party programs, and won't securely delete files or let you schedule cleaning sessions. Newbies who don't know how to clean up their IE history manually might examine this freebie, but most other users can safely pass it by.
Publisher's Description
From Next Step Software:
This program deletes all the Internet history from any Windows machine. Both the Internet Explorer drop-down list of sites and the temporary Internet files are cleared. It resets the list of visited sites to news sites. It also cleans the recently used files and the Run menu.

"Internet History Cleaner is a good tool to use."
Version: Internet History Cleaner 1.5
Pros
Its Interface is easy to use. With the help of Check boxes you can control what you want to clean. That seems good when a Blue Bar shows you the progress also.This Program shows you "Internet Options" for your Windows IE. You may manage your "Favorites" using the Interface.
Cons
This Programs has the buttons and those buttons are very large. There is a big button to show an eMail address. You may not find an efficient Help File in this Program.
Summary
Internet History Cleaner is a handy tool though it seems very old.

"This is an awesome program!!"
Version: Internet History Cleaner 1.5
Pros
I like everything about this program. You can have it start from the Startup menu or via a batch file. Despite what the Editor review said, it does run with third party programs. It cleans my Firefox info as well. Although, you can have Firefox do it itself. Keep in mind that Internet Explorer settings are per user. If you run this from the All Users Startup folder, it'll run automatically for all users.
