So, can the items in the History/My Computer folder be safely deleted? Or is
this anything to worry about as far as internet security and someone seeing
the files I've accessed on 'My Computer"?

I like to keep my history because I use it daily to visits the sites I've
visited the day before.

Thanks for your reply!
