Delete Internet Explorer History when disabled by Admin

Sometime Domain Admins disable deletion of Internet Explorer's history by setting a domain group policy. The Internet Explorer "Delete Browsing History" looks like:






















where the check-box next to History is disabled. Still if you want to clear it off, you have 2 options:
  1. Go to registry and enable the check-box - a cumbersome way
  2. Or go the command line way. Just type in the following in the command window:
RunDll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 1

and you are all set :)
