browsing or search history.
You can start InPrivate Browsing using Internet Explorer 8 by opening a new
tab and selecting Browse with InPrivate or selecting it from the Safety button
on the top right corner of the browser window. Internet Explorer 8 will launch a
new browser session that won't record any information. To end your InPrivate
Browsing session, simply close the browser window.
