Right click on internet explorer.. and click properties. there you will
see a box labled "clear history" .. click on it and your history will
be deleted.

Either do as darkshadow suggests or use crapcleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/ and tailor it to do what you want
 
Open the history folder via explorer rather than as a pane in IE. You can then select multiple
entries in a subfolder just like regular files. History is usually found here:

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\History

If you want to do this on a regular basis, create a shortcut to the folder.

I guess you are using IE. In Tools>internet options> general tab, you
can specify the number of days that you retain your history for. Perhaps
you can just reduce this as it defaults to 20 days.
