When one deletes history from his web page does that truly delete ALL the history off the computer? If not can someone tell me how the professional people go into a computer and find out a persons private (?) information such as files, history & ect. From every thing I have read there is no such thing as privatesy. How can I find out for my own sake?

Yes, and no.
Yes for average user, no for more savvy computer people.
That data can be fairly easy recovered, and besides it still resides in index.dat files, unless they're deleted as well (can be recovered, too).
