How to start private browsing through Internet Explorer?

InPrivate Browsing prevents Internet Explorer from storing data about your browsing session. This helps prevent anyone else who might be using your computer from seeing where you visited and what you looked at on the web. When you start InPrivate Browsing, Internet Explorer opens a new window. You can open as many tabs as you want in that window, and they will all be protected by InPrivate Browsing. However, if you open another browser window, that window will not be protected by InPrivate Browsing. To end your InPrivate Browsing session, close the browser window.

For opening a InPrivate browsing window you will have to follow the given steps :

1. Open internet explorer window.

2. If you are using the latest internet explorer open a new tab (ensure that the google toolbar is disabled so that when a new tab is opened the new tab page will open instead of the most popular pages window).

3. Then in the 2nd column in the first line it would be written to start InPrivate Browsing. Just click on it and a new window will open.

There is also a shortcut for the opening of the InPrivate Browsing window. It is CTRL+ALT+P.

NOTE: While surfing in the InPrivate browsing session the internet explorer saves some temporary internet files but the on shutting the window they all are deleted.

Information

How it is affected by InPrivate Browsing

Cookies

Kept in memory so pages work correctly, but cleared when you close the browser.

Temporary Internet files

Stored on disk so pages work correctly, but deleted when you close the browser.

Webpage history

This information is not stored.

Form data and passwords

This information is not stored.

Anti-phishing cache

Temporary information is encrypted and stored so pages work correctly.

Address bar and search AutoComplete

This information is not stored.

Automatic Crash Restore (ACR)

ACR can restore when a tab crashes in a session, but if the whole window crashes, data is deleted and the window cannot be restored.

Document Object Model (DOM) storage

The DOM storage is a kind of "super cookie" web developers can use to retain information. Like regular cookies, they are not kept after the window is closed.
