Microsoft got lots of praise from privacy advocates for including the "In Private" mode in Internet Explorer 8, which lets you surf without storing cookies, saving history or cache information or otherwise leaving tracks of what sites you've visited. This is good when using public computers - but some parents have written to say they don't want their kids to be able to so easily erase the traces of where they've been on the family computer. Well, if you're one of those, you'll be happy to know that it's pretty easy to disable "In Private" browsing. Here's how to do it in Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate or in the Windows 7 RC:
- Click Start and in the Search box, type gpedit.msc to open the local Group Policy management console.
- In the left pane, navigate to Computer Configuration Administrative Templates Windows Components Internet Explorer InPrivate
- In the right pane, double click the setting "Turn off InPrivate browsing"
- Select Enabled and click OK to prevent the use of the In Private feature.
