I could be dead wrong, but I don't think there is a built-in program/feature that will do that.

Suggest that you use InPrivate Browsing.
InPrivate Browsing does not keep browsing history. So, there is nothing to delete.
( A hacker can still be able to retreive your browsing history, but unless your are some really BIG Cheese, it won't happen to you.)

InPrivate Browsing......
Just simply open Internet Explorer > Tools > InPrivate Browsing...

I don't use FireFox.

InPrivate works on Firefox too, you just press CTRL-SHIFT-P once you've launched.

So with In private nothing is saved...seems like that would make it harder to find things the next time if noting is saved. Guess I could try it and always can change back.

Thanks

You can't have both.

There's nothing to change back. Once you exit the browser, you are back to normal.
