Hoping someone can help!
Does anyone know if my laptop will store every website I go on from the time I start using it?
Thanks in advance ;)

Yes, unless you change the settings in your privacy settings in your internet browser. Which Internet browser did you use most frequently?
-
Web browsers by default generally save a history of all websites you visit on your hard drive (unless the browser is in private mode). The good thing about modern browsers is that they offer an easy way to delete this information. In Internet Explorer (current versions) it is located under Tools --> Internet Options and in Mozilla Firefox (current versions) it is located under Tools --> Clear Recent History.

delete your browser history and work better.

You mean from the time you first using your computer, regardless of old it is, right? No, it does not endlessly continue storing websites. The length of time depends on the settings in your web browser. In my Windows 7 computer, Internet Explorer is set to keep up to 20 days of history or up to 50MB of disk space, whichever happens first. You can change these settings. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, select the General tab, and then click in Settings (under Browsing history). If you're using some other browser such as Firefox, Chrome, etc., the procedure would be similar but the menu structure and screen views will be different from Internet Explorer.

Original Post is 3 weeks old. I'm guessing she's not coming back.

Well, shucks, I wasn't paying attention to the date of the Original Post. If I had noticed it, I wouldn't have posted.

That's fine. The poster above you is essentially spamming the board and has been warned.
