I did this and then went to try to delete history and a text box came up and I could click what I wanted to go ahead and delete with no passwork or anything....So it doesnt really work.

Well, in fairness, any employer that is going to implement this type of policy is going to do so through Group Policy, rather than Local Policy. And while using Group Policy, they'd also lock out the use of unwanted executables -- like ccleaner.exe.

Never knew there is this type of prevention in vista.

If you have Home basic / premium gpedit.msc is Not available.

Yup, but I suppose if you're an "average salaryman" working at a company that needs to lock down this much, they're not going to go give you install permissions to your machine, anyhow, so ccleaner is out. They probably won't give you browsing permissions either, so who cares what their browsing history is/was.

So, no-one's going to read this and implement it, save for the mothers of 14 year olds, afraid that their snowflake is going to see the old roast beef sammich down below.
