How can I lock down my search history to where no one can delete it?
Or perhaps, is there a way to lock to down to where you need a password to delete it and make it more difficult?

When I do this, it says that Windows cannot find it. I tried searching "Local Group Policy Editor" but it tells me that it does not exist.

Hi, I am Dhanam, Independent Advisor here to work with you on this issue.

I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

Right-click the Window key and click Run.

Type in gpedit.msc and hit Enter.

Once the Local Group Policy Editor is open, navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer.

Double click Delete Browsing History.

Look for Prevent access to Delete Browsing History, double click it, click Enable > Apply > OK.

This is a public user-to-user support forum. I'm a user like you helping other users. I do not work for Microsoft and cannot access any user accounts.

I hope this can help you. If this still can't solve your problem, just let me know and I'll do my best to try to help you.
