This question was already answered on YahooAnswers, but it didn't work for me...please post a clear step by step answer. Also, is there any way to retrieve an old InPrivate session? Thank you!

your question is a little confusing.are you asking if you can remove the option to browse in private in ie8?no you cant.don't understand why you would anyway.in private browsing is OFF by default.you have to chose the in private browsing option in the safety drop down menu.when you close the in private window everything disappears as if you were never there.that's the point of it.no you cant remove in private browsing option unless you uninstall ie8.and no you cant retrieve a old in private sessions. sorry.

Answers the question. Could be written more clearly.
Why would one wnat to remove it? For me as a parent I am NOT able to control what website they visit if I can't check the history.

    No, that's why it is called private. It leaves no traces, or records of what you did. As soon as you close that window (private), everything is gone!
