    Well, you can delete your browsing history before you let her use it...And you can try and "hide" your porn in an obscure folder somewhere.

    If you use Internet Explorer:
    Click "Tools" on the top right area of the screen window. Click "Delete Browsing history" (check all the items, even your cookies) and delete. And don't visit the site again before you hand it over to her.

    If you have any pictures or files that you don't want her to see, hide them. You can either put them in a hidden folder, or you can "hide them in a plain sight". For instance, if you have a large folder of stories you've written, or (G-rated) pictures you've saved, you can add a folder inside that called "works in progress" or "older pictures", and put them in there. I've suggested putting them in a folder called "My Poetry", because NOBODY wants to open that. :slight_smile:

    Also, if you use internet explorer get rid of it. Download either mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

    http://www.google.com/chrome

    For the sake of web design, NO ONE USE INTERNET EXPLORER!

    but yeah you can erase your history on any browser.

    If you're using internet explorer, the first thing you have to do is stop. Sorry, folks, but a browser that can't be deleted just isn't safe. That's why Germany is basically banning it, and Microsoft has been forced to let people choose their browser when they get a new computer.

    If you have files, put them in some random folder and then add password protection / encryption. That way even if your mom finds it she can't open it, and if she asks you can say that it has your various passwords in it (I have so many I can't keep track of them, and I don't like have a life-password for bank accounts). When browsing (after you delete your browsing data in the "internet options" tool set), most browsers have a private browsing mode also in internet options or tools (not for looking at porn, of course :icon_roll ) that won't keep track of cookies or your history, as if you never went to the site.

    Yeah, it's so true. Don't use Internet Explorer. Mozilla firefox is much more safe and fast.Actually my parents dont know about browsers so I hide firefox in a folder and dont use them when they're around..lol
