re: The simplest solution that works Friday, February 16, 2007 at 1:59 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sue (1 messages posted) Thanks for the tip. Unforunately, my device manager does not give me the option to 'show hidden devices' and the beeping is driving me crazy. Any other solutions? Thanks in advance - the process is straightforward and effective for most browsers... with the unfortunate exception of Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows. Erasing your browsing history via the options provided by that program unfortunately does not do a thorough job. Firefox (The Best Internet Privacy Solution) If you can, follow these recommendations to maximize your online privacy: 1. Use Firefox as your browser, not Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer leaves a trail of evidence in multiple places on the hard drive. On Thursday, April 24, 2003 at 1:10 pm, Goran Vuletic wrote: >No need to edit the registry.
